Tax Year Prior to 2020: EITC

I received (long term?) Disability payments for about 5 years before being mandated to file for retirement. At this time I am receiving SS payments  for both retirement and disability. I also have a dependant child living with me full time. With long term disability being considered "income", do I qualify for Earned Income Credit ? I have no other income other than that.

No, Social Security benefits and Social Security Disability (SSDI) do not count as earned income.
