That's a rather long and complicated answer.
Start by looking at Table 5 on page 11 of Publication 501:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
The table gives an outline of the requirements to be a dependent. Then the text below explains the requirements and terms in more detail.
Note: A "qualifying relative" does not necessarily have to be related to you if the person lived with you.

If your dependents file tax returns can you still claim them?
Yes. Being claimed as a dependent doesn't prevent the dependent from filing a return. That also doesn't prevent you from still claiming them on your own return. The IRS gives guidelines for determining whether dependents are required to file tax returns. Also, even though dependents might not be required to file, they should file if tax was withheld in order to receive a refund of that tax.
Does someone over 65 as a dependent have to file tax returns?

Will you receive money if your dependent has been claimed unjustly for the last 3 years?
You won't unless you file tax returns for the three years in question claiming the dependent. If you've already filed tax returns without claiming the dependent, you should file amended tax returns for the years in question. The deadline for filing a 2005 amended return is April 15, 2009. It is too late to amend years before 2005. Once you file your returns, the IRS will contact you for additional information. Note that if you e-file a return after someone else has claimed the same dependent, your e-file will be rejected. People erroneously assume this means that the first person to file gets the money. All it means is that the second person has to send in a paper return in order to begin the process of determining who gets the dependent.
