After you file

When you claim an adult as a dependent---they are a "qualified relative" for whom you get a $500 credit for other dependents.  That is a non-refundable credit that can reduce your tax owed.  If you claimed a dependent for 2021, you would also get the $1400 stimulus for claiming them.
