How do I apply for my children to get the $500 stimulus check or will it automatically come

[Anonymous]

its automatic unless they were born after you filed your 2019 retrun and you don't get it fior any children older than 17.

If you filed a 2018 or 2019 income tax return and claimed your children as dependents, the IRS will automatically add $500 per qualifying dependent to your stimulus check.

A29. If you did not receive the full amount to which you believe you are entitled, you will be able to claim the additional amount when you file your 2020 tax return.  This is particularly important for individuals who may be entitled to the additional $500 per qualifying child dependent payments.
