Yes. SSI is nontaxable income. It's considered when figuring if the person claiming the dependent provides over 50 percent of the support for the dependent.

Go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Worksheet for Determining Support in Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information). You keep the Worksheet with your other tax records.
