Claimed Fiancee 2018, she filed in 2019; no stimulus check?

Hello, I claimed my fiancee on my 2018 taxes as she was a stay at home mom at the time. She began working in 2019, filed her taxes in January of 2020 and received a refund. She made a minimal amount of money as she was only working for a few months in 2019 before she got a W-2. Using the calculators provided by third parties, it states she may be eligible for a stimulus check. To add a bit more background, I have already received the stimulus for myself as well as our daughter whom I claim on my taxes since she's been born. Since the IRS launched their stimulus check status tool, it has only stated that her "Payment status is not available" and has been this way since they launched said tool. We are at a loss and unsure of what to do or if she is even truly eligible for a stimulus check. The money would really help right now considering I am furloughed and her part time hours were cut even more. I have tried to research before posting however I haven't been able to find much of anything that directly relates to our situation. Thank you so much in advance for any advice/insight!
