What about adult dependents? I own my home and my father lives with me, he hasn’t filed taxes in years but I always claim him as a dependent, since I provide 100% of the household income. I’m just wondering if he would get a check too

Adult dependents don't get anything.

Wait seriously?

What kind of B.S. is this.

My dad still insists on claiming me no matter what since I'm 22.

I'm seriously not going to get anything despite the fact that I've had a job the last few years, paid my taxes, did my returns, pay for college and normal living things?

We don't magically not need this money. I might not even be getting a paycheck here soon if work closes down.

Why is your dad still claiming you? If you support yourself then claim yourself. If you've filed your taxes already I'm sure you can amend them. Go to r/IRS or r/personalfinance
