Only a qualifying child will qualify for the Earned Income Credit.  So, if you one dependent who is 19 and no longer a student, they would no longer be considered a qualifying child, therefore, they would not longer be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit on your return.  If they are 19 and in school or totally and permanently disabled, then would still qualify.
