If a person is disabled and works part time and their parents can claim them but they don't, can the person check no and collect the earned income credit?

It depends on whether the disabled person is providing more than half of their own support. If they are, they can claim themselves and collect the tax benefits of doing so.

If they are not providing more than half of their own support, they are not eligible for Earned Income Credit.
