Both of your incomes should be included in calculating whether you qualify for the EITC. The system gives you the option to exclude any income that is not actually earned income from the calculation even if it was paid out on a W2. That would be sick pay or severance bonuses - that kind of thing.
In your case since these are both medicaid waiver payments then you can exclude one or both of them from earned income. The system is allowing you to calculate this correctly. Use the one that gets the best result.
