If your only income was Social Security, then sorry, but you are not eligible for child tax credit. You must have income from working to get the Child Tax Credit. For tax year 2021 only, you could get the CTC even if you did not work, but for 2022 and 2023, the rules went back to the "old" rules----if you do not have income from working you cannot get child tax credit or earned income credit even if you are supporting a child. Sorry.
