Is Third-party sick pay reported on W-2 box 1 without social security and medicare tax (I think due to more than six month rules) considered as earned income  for EIC calculation ?

I haven't researched it, but I have the understanding that only pay after the six months avoids the no Social Security and Medicare tax, in which case, that is not earned income.

As you previously said, you may just need to override the worksheet.
