<prompt> Human: My SO and I arent married as i stated in the title but we have a 5 month old son together and have lived together for about five years now. Although he pays for all of our expenses I was on medicaid and foodstamps throughout my pregnancy. I also worked this year Im currently waiting to hear back from my old boss she is looking to see what i made for my gross year to date and my federal withholdings year to date. I suppose what Im trying to ask is will he be allowed to claim me as a dependent? Will it matter that I was on medicaid or had been on foodstamps? If none of that matters as for me working how much am I allowed to make to be able to still be claimed as a dependent? I hope my questions make sense and I am asking them correctly. Thank you!  <response>: A redditor made this chart which might help.
