Can I Claim My Mom as a Dependent?

Hi guys.. I'm single living with my elderly mom in her house. She's at an advanced age and is considered handicapped. She hasnt worked in decades and receives income from social security/SSI .I have 3 questions:

 

1) Considering the above can I claim my mom as a dependent to get a bigger tax refund?

 

2) If I can claim her as a dependent will my any of my future stimulus checks be affected?

 

3) Is it worth it?
