How do I add a W-2 for a dependent who also received Social Security?

You do not enter a dependent's W-2 tax information nor their Social Security benefits reported on a SSA-1099 on your tax return.

The dependent can file their own tax return to report the income and benefits received.  They Must indicate on their tax return that they can be claimed as a dependent.
