That is not even remotely true. The person who told you that is an idiot. The EIC is a tax credit for low income perosns/ families, it has nothing to do with SSI which is based on the number of quarter you worked and how much you earned along the way.

You should be able to take the EIC and be able to draw a social security check later. One has nothing to do with the other. Social security eligibility is based upon the number of quarters you've worked in your lifetime.
