Okay, it seems like you are able to claim him, so that means is NOT able to claim himself, even if you choose to not to claim him.
However, depending on which State you live in, if you choose not to claim him, he may qualify for free Medicaid. He still can not claim himself on his tax return, but he may qualify for Medicaid if you do not claim him. If he lives in a State that has fully expanded Medicaid, he would qualify. If he lives in another State, he would need to contact his local Medicaid office to determine the rules in that State.
