What if they weren’t eligible at all? My mom couldn’t claim me at all because apparently I made more than what was considered dependent status. 


That depends on your age and if you were a student.   If under age 19 or under 24 and a full-time student then then your income does not matter.     If older than 18 and not a student then you cannot be a dependent if your income was more then $4,200.
