Education

Yes, as long as you hadn't finished the program prior.

Don't think calendar years, think Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior. 

If you had not earned a bachelor's by 01-01-2019 you were not past the first four years of a degree. 

It doesn't matter how many years it takes for you to get to that point. 

The credit is still available if you,or anyone claiming you (such as your parents) did not claim the credit 4 times already (combined)
