No, if you are claimed as a dependent on another return, you are not eligible for the stimulus payment.  

 

Under the CARES Act, if you are claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return you cannot receive a stimulus check.  If you were claimed as a dependent for 2019, but not 2020 you will most likely not receive a stimulus check.  You may however, be able to get a tax credit for it when you file your 2020 taxes in 2021.
