Should i declare my 23 year old permanently disabled son who receives SSI as a dependent

Our 23 year old son started receiving supplemental security income (SSI) in December 2022 (so he is considered disabled).  He lives in a group home (lived there for all of 2022) and my wife and i pay 100% of his rent (food and lodging).  should we declare him as a dependent?  If we declare him as a dependent, are there any implications for his on-going SSI benefits?
