Claiming a dependent

My 21 yr old son was pretty much independent in 2015. I paid only for his health insurance.

Question 1. He ask me, do I claim dependent or independent?

2016 will be a little different, he's back in college, I will pay for his college expenses and his health insurance, I may give him some support money. It depends on how much he works.

Question 2. For 2016, does it matter what he claimed in 2015? Do I need to provide over 50% of his support to claim him in 2016?

Thanks, Mikek
