For tax purposes, none of that would disqualify you from claiming that person as a dependent.
However, it is possible that if you claim that person as a dependent, it could disqualify that person from some or all of those benefits.
For the Arizona Medicaid (AHCCCS), if the person is your child, it would disqualify that person if you claimed that person as a dependent. If it isn't your child, it would probably not disqualify that person.
For the Food Stamps, each State has their own rules, so you would need to contact your state agency to find out their rules.

(1) Basic rule for taxpayers not claimed as a tax dependent. In the case of an individual who expects to file a tax return for the taxable year in which an initial determination or renewal of eligibility is being made, and who does not expect to be claimed as a tax dependent by another taxpayer, the household consists of the taxpayer and, subject to paragraph (f)(5) of this section, all persons whom such individual expects to claim as a tax dependent.

So the first bold part say the determination of a dependent is based on the entire Household income, UNLESS that person is NOT a spouse or a child. In the case of a non-spouse, non-child dependent, you follow the rules in paragraph 3.
Paragraph 3 says the income eligibility is based on the income of that individual alone, unless their spouse and/or children under age 21 live with them, in which case the spouse's and children's income is included.
