Dependents don't receive their own stimulus checks, but they add funds to the household's total. With the third check, dependents of any age will add up to $1,400 each to the family's check. The total amount of money allocated in the third payment depends on your adjusted gross income, which you can find on your taxes.

Are dependents eligible for stimulus check?

The payments will be $1,400 per qualifying adult ($2,800 for married taxpayers filing a joint return) and $1,400 per dependent. For the third round of stimulus payments, taxpayers can get payments for dependents of all ages, including children over the age of 17, college students, and adults with disabilities.

How do you get stimulus check if you were claimed as a dependent?

If you didn't receive your first or second stimulus checks because you were wrongly claimed as a dependent on a 2019 tax return, you can file a 2020 tax return in 2021 to get your stimulus payment(s).
