My relative meets all of the requirements above for me to qualify her as a dependent.
Could my relative lose her food stamps if I declare her as a dependent on my taxes?
If the person filling out forms with the welfare office stating that they are a separate household (even if they are living with you) then they might lose their benefits.

If you are not considered a member on their caseload then you should be very careful. I can't tell you 100% yes or no as I am not an employee of either IRS or welfare but from my understanding, they can lose their benefits and even face repercussions.
