Question

I elected to use my previous years income because it was more than this years income. Was that only for people collecting unemployment?

No.  Anyone whose income was lower in 2020 than in 2019 has the option to use the prior year income to qualify for certain credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

 

Here is a link with more information on the EITC relief.
