Wrong. If you are claimed as someone else's dependent, you will not be recieving a stimulus check.

As found from:irs.gov

Q: I know some people won’t get a stimulus payment. How do I know if I’m one of them?

A: You won’t get a stimulus payment in 2008, if any of the following apply to you:

• You don’t file a 2007 tax return.
• Your net income tax liability is zero and your qualifying income is less than $3,000. To determine your qualifying income, add together your wages, net self-employment income, nontaxable combat pay, Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits and certain veterans’ payments.
• You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
• You do not have a valid Social Security Number.
• You are a nonresident alien.
• You file Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040PR or Form 1040SS for 2007.
