I believe that you mean Earned Income Credit. This was designed to be a helping hand for people who had children and were working but made smaller amount of money. It has grown out of control like most government programs and has become a lump sum welfare program. I would estimate that 40-60% of the payments are now fraudulent with people trading children, claiming children who aren't theirs, and claiming fraudulent income. Parents are also stating they are single when they aren't. They also will only work to make the amounts that max their EITC. People who earn 9,000 to 14,000 with two children can get $5500 without paying a cent during the year. Often times you get people who are married, lie stating they are single parents and both will get this much money, not including Child Tax Credits and other credits that can really add up. They could be caught so easy but the government doesn't seem to want to catch them. Sorry for my rant.

How in unearned income calculated for SSI?

Unearned income for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is calculated by totaling all sources of income that are not derived from work, such as Social Security benefits, pensions, interest, dividends, and rental income. Certain exclusions may apply, such as the first $20 of unearned income per month. The total unearned income is then used to determine the individual's SSI eligibility and payment amount, as SSI benefits are reduced by the amount of unearned income received. It's important for recipients to report any changes in their unearned income to ensure accurate benefit calculations.
