Will I get a stimulus check if I was claimed as a dependent?

I am 20 years old, and made well over $3000 last year. In theory I should get a check. However, my parents claimed me as a dependent. Should I expect to get a stimulus check?

    No.

    If you were claimed as a dependent, you do not qualify for a stimulus payment. If you are over 17, your parents won’t get a payment for you either.

    No, one of the requirements to be eligible is that you are NOT a dependent.
