I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. Dealing with finances can only add to the stress of that situation, and I hope that someone's answer helps you and takes that load off your mind.
If your dad's only income is from SSI/disability, it is unlikely that he is required to file a tax return. Which means that it won't do him any good to put you on it. There's no Earned Income Credit available, no Child Tax Credit, with no earned income. The income he has is not considered "earned" by the IRS.
If you have been working to support yourself, or have other taxable income, it is possible that you can claim yourself on the tax return this year. But without knowing things like your age, educational stauts, income, and living situation, I really can't answer that. And that's an awful lot of personal information to put in a question - or answer.
In your situation, I'd probably go and talk to a tax professional. I don't always recommend this, but whenever there is a situation that is 'out of the ordinary', it is a good idea if you can. You can have your return "double checked" for around $30, which might be the best option if you can't sit down and have a full conversation with a qualified tax advisor.
Please feel free to email if you have more questions. I can't do your return for you, but I can answer general questions, and would be happy to do so.
Good luck with everything! Have a Blessed day!

In order for your dad to claim you on his taxes, a) he'd have to file, b) you'd have to be live with him for more than 6 months, not support yourself and be under the age of 19.
Alternately, since you are his child, you could be any age, not live with him, but your income would have to be less than $3400 and he'd have to provide more than half of your support (which would be hard to do on ssi).

If he's only receiving SSI and disability he probably does not have to file. Why do you want him to claim you?
