If you are (or were) not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on her tax return, you can amend your return to change that.
Amended returns can be prepared online, but cannot be e-filed. IRS does not accept e-filed amended returns. To see if you were eligible to be claimed as a dependent, please see this link: Who can be claimed as a dependent?
IRS is processing returns much slower than normal because of reduced staff due to Covid-19.
However, it appears, based on current information that if you do not receive a stimulus payment but were entitled to receive one, that may be reconciled on your 2020 tax return, filed in Spring of 2021.
If you do not qualify to be a dependent, you should amend your return and mail it in as soon as possible.
