Mr. Brewer, Do you still

Mr. Brewer,
Do you still qualify for the stimulus package if you are claimed as a parents Dependant? I know a few college students who do work study during the school year and paid internships during the summer and they make more than 3,000 dollars. Some of them, however, are claimed by their parents, does that matter?

Also, this might seem a silly question, but is the stimulus package and automatic thing, or is there some way you need to specify it on you taxes. What I mean is, if someone isn't filing to get a return, and their only reason is for this stimulus package, do they need to make a note of that somewhere or will it be automatically recognized?
sorry if these seem like silly questions...

Sara
