There is a distinction between income and support. To determine if you support someone, you simply need to determine what their support costs and if you supply over half of it.
The income can be an issue because sometimes there is a limit on how much a person can earn and qualify as a dependent, even if you support them. However, if you receive SSI, then that does not count as income earned for the income test as it relates to a dependent.
