Definetely a bummer for them.
My older boys are not listed as dependents on my taxes.
They claim themselves.

I saw an article that said some college students that are claimed on their parents taxes as dependents would not get anything and also the parents would not receive anything additional for the child.
Parents would only receive for their child if they are under 17 by Dec. 31, 2007.
Edit to give correct info. from Stimulus Payments: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
(But to qualify, a child must be under age 17 as of Dec. 31, 2007. In other words, if a child was 16 or younger at the end of 2007 and meets the other eligibility requirements, then the child will qualify for the $300 stimulus payment.)

It is a bummer that your boys will not receive anything,I am sure being in college they could have used that money.
