Were you claimed as a dependent on someone else's return? If so, you will not receive the stimulus payment in 2019.
However, if you are not able to be claimed as a dependent in 2020, you may be able to claim the stimulus as a credit on your 2020 tax return.
Per the IRS, you are not eligible if:

It does not state that you are claimed, but rather that you are can be claimed on someone else's return.
Rules for Claiming a Dependent
If you did not receive the full amount to which you believe you are entitled, you will be able to claim the additional amount when you file your 2020 tax return. This is particularly important for individuals who may be entitled to the additional $500 per qualifying child dependent payments. For VA and SSI recipients who don’t have a filing requirement and have a child, they need to use the Non-Filer tool (link) on IRS.gov by May 5 in order to have the $500 added automatically to their $1,200 Economic Impact payment. We encourage people to review our “How do I calculate my EIP Payment” question and answer (See question 11).
