If you claim the individuals as your dependent on your 2020 tax return, then they will not qualify for any stimulus checks. If you don't claim them in 2020, they can file a tax return and should qualify for stimulus payments that they didn't receive because you claimed them last year.
However, if they qualify as dependents, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to file on their own just to get the stimulus check and then go back on as your dependent next year.
