No, she doesn't qualify you for the EIC, because she is no longer a "Qualifying Child."

Your child must meet one of the following:

Be under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you or your spouse, if you file a joint return
Be a full-time student in at least five months of the year and under age 24 at the end of the year and younger than you or your spouse, if you file a joint return
Be permanently and totally disabled at any time during the year and any age.
