Parents get $500 stimulus money for a child under the age of 17. YOU do not get anything if you are claimed as a dependent.
And you may be confused about the difference between stimulus money and an income tax refund. Those are two different and separate things. If you were claimed as a dependent by a "friend" he might get a $500 credit on his own tax return to reduce the tax he owed----but if you are not related to him and did not live with him for the whole year, claiming you was illegal.
