Stimulus Check - Social Security Recipient

My grandpa was an adult dependent in 2018, but it not being claimed as a dependent for 2019 taxes. He also receives social security.

 

He was not required to file in 2018 or 2019, however his daughter has not filed her 2019 taxes yet. Does this mean the government still sees him as a claimed dependent who is not eligible for a stimulus check? If so, should he complete the non filer form to show that he will not be claimed or does he have to wait for his daughter to file 2019 in order for the IRS to recognize that he is no longer a claimed dependent?
