Minor Child

My daughter is 17 years old. She is not a qualifying child for the stimulus. But she's on SSI because she's autistic. Will she get her own stimulus in her SSI account? We claimed her on our federal and state tax returns.

No , she will not receive a stimulus check.  At 17, she can still be claimed as your dependent, and dependents do not get stimulus checks.  Since she is over 16 years old, you do not get stimulus for her.
