Third party sick pay paid by agents [i.e., insurance company] of the employer are treated as supplemental wage income (see Treasury Regulation 31.3402(g)).  Supplemental wage payments are considered to be earned income for purposes of the Earned Income Tax Credit (see Internal Revenue.Code Section 32(c)(2)(A)(i)).
