Claiming Child as a dependant?

My first born son will be here in a few weeks. The mother of my child is not with me anymore and is jobless. She is on govt assistance for healthcare and food. If I claim my son as a dependent, will she lose her healthcare benefits?

    No, but you would both have problems for claiming the same child. Talk to your ex and figure who will claim the baby.

    If she is claiming the child you will be contact by the IRS. Check with your ex and if she is claiming the child you do not do it.
