Only if all of the rules are met by you and the child that receives the public assistance for you qualify to be able claim the qualifying dependency exemption on your 1040 income tax return for this purpose.

For all of the rules go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for PUBLICATION 17 go to chapter 3. Personal Exemptions and Dependents

Each test is explained in chapter 3 of the publication 17 and you will also find the worksheet that you can use to determine if the support test is met.

Who can claim a qualifying child for the EIC after divorce is not specified in divorce agreement?

The child that the child actually lives with for most of the year can claim the EIC on the child. If the divorce agreement specifies that a non-custodial parent can claim the child on his or her taxes, it does not mean that he or she can claim the EIC on the child. EIC is not granted in court orders. To claim EIC, you must pass the age, relationship, and residency requirements. If the child does not actually live with the non-custodial parent for most of the year than the non-custodial parent may NOT claim the child.
