When the first EIP came out the 17 year old disabled daughter of client received no payment. She is on SSI. When the second EIP came out she had turned 18, still on SSI and received no payment. The court has granted parents full guardianship on her 18th birthday. She will be claimed as "other dependent" on parents return. I am unable to determine if she was/is eligible for any stimulus payment at all due to her unusual circumstance. Any suggestions, and thanks in advance!

She is a Qualifying Child dependent if she is not supporting herself. She is not eligible for any EIP nor any RRC if I understand the situation properly.Doug -
It follows the Child Tax Credit rules, so if the parents are not eligible for the CTC for daughter, then no RRC either. Unless there's a exception for a disabled child... Or, unless the parents don't pay over 50% of daughter's support/daughter doesn't qualify as an other dependent and claims herself.Comment

No, what dtlee said. She is not an "other dependent", she is a QC because the age test doesn't apply to one permanently and totally disabled (assuming she lives with her parents, not stated but seems almost certain). Therefore it doesn't matter whether parents pay more than half her support, only that she does not pay more than half of her own support. Support of course is not at all the same thing as income.
And no, there is no disabled child exception for the age test for CTC or RRC.
