He meets qualifications and was claimed as a dependent in 2018.  I have yet to file 2019.  From what I read he should not be eligible to receive a stimulus payment however he received one in his rep payee account yesterday.   Weekday should we do about the money,  or was he suppose to receive it?


If he was claimed as a dependent on the 2018 tax return, then he should not have received a stimulus payment.  Nor would be be eligible for the stimulus payment if you claim him as a dependent on your 2019 tax return.

The IRS has a procedure to return the stimulus check.  Go to this IRS website for information (See Question 54) - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center#more
