You are eligible as long as no one has claimed you as a dependent on their tax return. But you just registered, so it will take a while before the website will be updated. You have to file a 2018 tax return if you are required to file one and without any income, you are not required to file a return. The stimulus registration was similar to filing a 2019 tax return solely for the purpose of updating your direct deposit information with the IRS. Until the IRS resumes operations, all we have is patience and their website for information which I have linked below.
Keep these links handy and keep checking.
The IRS is committed to helping you get your Economic Impact Payment as soon as possible. The payments also referred to by some as stimulus payments, are automatic for most taxpayers. No further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019 and most seniors and retirees.
