Amended Return as not claimable as dependent- Will I receive a Stimulus check?

I mistakingly included in my 2019 taxes that I was eligible to be claimed as a dependent when they cannot. No one is claiming me as a dependent yet I included that on my 2019 return. I amended my return as of today, does that mean I am now eligible to receive a stimulus check? If so, does that mean I will not receive it for 16 weeks??

Yes, this will make you eligible for the stimulus payment. And Yes, your stimulus payment will be delayed until after the IRS has processed your amended return which may take up to 16 weeks.
