My mother is in assisted living.She gets about 900 dollors a month in SS benifits.
I pay 600 dollors a month addition to this.Can I claim my mother as a dependant.
I have done some research on this,and the way I see it,is yes because it is more than half of what she gets in SS benifits.
Am I right about this?

As long as you provide more than half of her support AND she makes less than $3300 a year in gross income you can claim her as a dependent.
FYI- This is only because she is your mother. If she was another relative, she would have to live with you as well as meet the above standards.
