If your child is a qualified dependent of age 16 or under, you will receive an additional $500 per child, similar to the Child Tax Credit. If they're older than 16 you will not get a stimulus check for them. Also, if you have an older child who is a dependent, for example an 18 year old in college, they will not qualify for a stimulus check even if they have a job and paid taxes. No one claimed as a dependent will receive a stimulus check.
