Disabled relatives

My adult son and my brother both live with me. My son receives SSDI and had NO other income. My brother receives SSI ( disabled since birth) and also had NO  other income.  Will My claiming them as dependents effect their Social Security?

No, claiming them as dependents on your tax return will have no effect on their Social Security benefits.
