Taxes and disability and earned income

I am a single mom who receives ssdi for myself and my 5 year old daughter gets a check for being my daughter. 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?

Taxes and disability and earned income

Your only earned income is the $15 a week.  To qualify for the child tax credit you need $2,500 or more of earned income.  But the $15 a week from your parents and your 5-year old daughter can make you eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
