Yes. For claiming a "qualifying relative" dependent you get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents.

Yes, the maximum amount for the Credit for Other Dependents is $500 per qualifying adult. This is a non-refundable credit that applies to dependents who do not qualify for the higher Child Tax Credit. See Credit for Other Dependents.
