No.

The IRS is still processing stimulus payments.

If you met all of the eligibility requirements, you will be be entitled to your stimulus payment.

The IRS is going to be issuing the stimulus payments throughout 2020, so you may still get your stimulus payment once the IRS receives and processes your 2019 tax return.

When you file your return in 2020, you will have the opportunity to report the amount of the stimulus check(s) you did receive, and if it was less than what you were entitled to, you will receive a credit on your tax return.

The Recovery Rebate Credit is based on the information in your 2020 tax return.  The stimulus payments in rounds one and two were advances on that credit.  You are eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 return.  If you received any stimulus payments in rounds one and/or two your credit is reduced by that amount you already received.

As an adult dependent you would not have received a stimulus payment.  If you have not received any stimulus payments, then the entire amount you are eligible for is added to your tax return as a refundable credit on line 30 of your Form 1040.

To recap the total Recovery Rebate Credit eligibility amounts:

Round one:  $1200 (2400 if filed jointly) plus $500 per qualified dependent child age 16 or under

Round two:  $600 (1200 if filed jointly) plus $600 per qualified dependent child age 16 or under
