The EIC is not a fixed amount. It varies with income as a bell shaped curve going up with income till the maximum amount when it starts to decrease with income.
When you enter your SSA benefits, part of it is taxable and increases your AGI which makes your EIC decrease as you are on the descending part of the EIC curve.
