If you received less than you were due, when you file your 2020 tax return, the shortfall will be added to your return.
To get the supplementary child stimulus check payment:
- You must have filed a recent (2018 or 2019) tax return,
- Claimed the child as dependent AND the child must be younger than 17-years-old.
- They must also be related to you by blood, marriage, or adoption.
- There is no limit to the number of dependents who can qualify for the additional $500 in one household.
Note: Thousands of college students and high school kids who are older than 17, but are still being claimed as a dependent by their parents or relative on their federal tax return, are unfortunately ineligible for the additional $500 payment based on current rules.
