Yes, IF certain IRS criteria is met. You must have been responsible for over 1/2 of her support for the year (and with the meager amount given by SSI, that's easy to say yes to), and usually she must live within your home. There are other questions as well which will guide you to figure out whether or not you can claim him. I am in a similar circumstance and have been able to claim my son as a dependent for several years. He is 25 and also receives SSI. I use the H&R tax software which makes it even easier. good luck !
