Yes. The IRS defines earned income . You can use IHSS income for child tax credit and earned income credit, if you qualify.
Traditionally, if you live with the family member that you care for, you have the option to enter the income as taxable. So IHSS has long been available as an earned income for those credits.
There was a court case and the IHSS is allowed for these credits as earned income. For more info and entry, click here.
