Deductions & credits

This situation may affect most people who receive unemployment benefit since those unemployed get federal enhancement $. Therefore, the unemployment amount is big while their base benefit is only $100sth/week. 

 

I saw this on the news and it states below but not sure how it could apply to mom’s case- 
“You can get a 15 percent deduction under the Earned Income Tax Credit. Someone with no children could earn up to $21,370 and a married couple with three children could earn up to $55,952 and still qualify. Unemployment benefits don't count as earned income.
