I didn't get stimulus from 2019. I think they have me down as "can be claimed as a dependent" in error. I'm on SSI. How do I correct this and get stimulus?

I was told to use the non-filers form in error (since SSI recipients don't need to). I'm guessing that is how the "can be claimed as a dependent" box got ticked. But they wouldn't allow for any changes. I was told you can get what is due by filing in 2020, but I have no idea what is needed in this case.

tSimulus payment is a refund.

File  return for a refund.

you can use TurboTax or one of the free federal filing programs .

visit IRS site to find them.

TurboTax will ask about this.  The 1040 form is bein modified so you can claim the payment if you did not receive it.
Line 30 will be added to Form 1040.  If a taxpayer did not get the payment or should have received a larger payment, Line 30 will show that amount.  It will be treated as a refundable credit.  That means that the money will first be used to pay any taxes due and the remainder will be refunded to the taxpayer.
