Are they dependent on you?

Just asking hypothetically.

Sure, why not, just don't let anyone in the Government find out...

yes, and there's a lot of documentation that has to be provided as well to prove that they are dependent on you.

Dependent can be taking care of an invalid or a sibling or even somebody unrelated
