I also receive $15 week from my parents for cleaning their house. This "self employment" is the reason I get Medical Assistance for Workers with Disabilities. I pay $56/month for that. My question is does any of this make me eligible to receive the child tax credit or earned income tax credit?</P> Sat, 13 Mar 2021 15:20:20 GMT Tearzimmerman 2021-03-13T15:20:20Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/taxes-and-disability-and-earned-income/01/2072603#M988009 <P>I am a single mom who receives ssdi for myself and my 5 year old daughter gets a check for being my daughter.
