Unemployment is not earned income so the answer is no.

No.

You have to have W-2 or documented self-employment income to get EIC or ACTC.

(Technically you are eligible for the child tax credit, but it cannot create a refund.)

No.  Unemployment is not earned income, thus no earned income credit.  Earned income = income from working.
