I am claimed as a dependent, but I file my own taxes due to work will I still be eligible for a stimulus check? I recently got married as well.

No, you would not be eligible for a stimulus payment.

According to the information on the IRS site, if you were claimed as a dependent or can be claimed as a dependent, then you will not be eligible for a stimulus payment. Having checked the box on your return that you could be claimed as a dependent will disqualify you from receiving a stimulus payment.

If you filed a joint return for 2019 you will be eligible for $2,400 but you'll have to wait until 2021 to get it.
