Changing dependent status

My daughter filed her return before I did, and I thought I would be able to claim her as a dependent, so I told her to say yes she could be claimed. But when I filed my taxes, I found that she was not a full time student long enough to qualify as my dependent. Now that the government is giving Corona assistance, is the fact that she said she could be claimed as a dependent going to block her receiving assistance, or will the IRS see that she was not claimed on anyone's return?
