The grandchildren would have to qualify as your dependent for you to receive an earned income credit (EIC). The basic qualifications for that is they would have to live in your home that you maintain for over half the year and they cannot provide over 1/2 half of their own support. Also, they would have to be under age 19 or a full-time student or disabled, and not claimed as dependents by anyone else. Furthermore you need earned income to qualify for the earned income credit. You can find more about the earned income credit here: Earned Income Tax Credit
