@TENAJANE This is an older thread in which a user asked if they could get refundable child-related credits while receiving only Social Security disability. Unfortunately, if you do not have income from working, you are not eligible for refundable child related credits on an income tax return. All of the refundable child-related tax credits are based on having income from working.
You are in a very difficult situation, for which help is not available from an income tax return. So very sorry. You mention that you are now living in the state of Ohio. Have you visited an office of Job and Family Services to seek some help with your rent or perhaps an increase in the SNAP benefits, etc.
