Solved
My wife is permanently disabled and is unable to work. Does she count as a dependent of mine since her Social Security income is only 20% of what I make at my job?

No. A spouse is never a dependent. You still file a Joint return even if she has little or no income. Joint is better than claiming a dependent. You get a higher Standard Deduction and other benefits. You will have to enter her SSA-1099 for Social Security into your tax return.
