My daughter is a dependent on my return. She received Social security benefits (her only source of income) and received 1098T from her college. Should she file a return?

No, she isn't required to file a return. Please see Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent? for additional information.

You can claim the 1098T on your return since she is your dependent. Please see What education tax credits are available? for additional information.
