I had the same question. But will it affect her SSI check??
Your claiming her as your dependent could affect Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Consider consulting with the Social Security Administration before claiming her.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes).
It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and. It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. SSI is not reported on a tax return.
Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits are reported on a form SSA-1099 and the benefits received are reported on a federal tax return.
