I don't think he will receive the EIC. Haven't run across this particular situation, but I'm fairly certain IRS will keep anything they can get their hands on while an installment agreement is in effect.
I'm not recommending this as good financial planning, but if he's still on hard times and needs a few extra dollars each month, he can ask for the installment agreement payments to be reduced after the offset posts. It will extend his repayment period & ultimately his total P&I cost, but sometimes when the ox is in the ditch you gotta do whatever you can. He can probably get this done with a simple phone call.
