For tax purposes, none of that would disqualify you from claiming that person as a dependent.


However, it is possible that if you claim that person as a dependent, it could disqualify that person from some or all of those benefits.

For the Food Stamps, each State has their own rules, so you would need to contact your state agency to find out their rules.
