Yes.

Under the CARES Act, if you are claimed, or qualify to be claimed, as a dependent on someone else’s 2019 return you cannot receive a stimulus check, in 2020.   

If you qualified as a dependent for 2019, but will not be a dependent  for 2020, you will  get it in 2021, when you file a 2020 tax return.

Note that the requirement is not just whether you are actually claimed as a dependent, it's whether you qualify to be claimed as a dependent. 

 

With that in mind, what has changed that makes you think you can no longer be claimed as a dependent.
