Deductions & credits
The IRS will not tell you who claimed you, only that you were listed on another tax return. If your daughter did claim you, it would not affect her economic impact payment (stimulus check) but her refund would have an extra credit for you of $500 .
The 2019 tax return doesn't "say no" to a dependent - that isn't how that works. If she "tried to claim you" then odds are, she probably did claim you but after learning about the effect it would have on the economic impact payment to you later may have second thoughts and doesn't want to say so.
Unfortunately, you may never know the truth about this and there isn't anything that you can do about it currently.
The only thing you can do is file your own tax return for 2020 in 2021 to try to claim an economic impact payment for $1200 for yourself at that time as long as you are truly not qualified to be a dependent of your daughter - meaning that she does not provide more than half of your support.
