Would anyone who just came here on a K1 (fiance) visa but doesn't have their green card yet be able to get the $600 or however much the check amounts to?

Here is the general eligibility

If one doesn't have substantial presence or a green card:

Determining Alien Tax Status

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/alien-tax-status-first-year-choice

 

If you do not meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for the current year (for example, 2019) or the prior year (2018), and you did not choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for part of the prior year (2018), but you meet the substantial presence test in the following year (2020), you can choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for part of the current year (2019) and be taxed as a dual-status alien for the current year (2019). To make this first-year choice, you must:

 

Be present in the United States for at least 31 days in a row in the current year (2019), and

Be present in the United States for at least 75% of the number of days following the 31-day period, beginning with the first day of the 31-day period and ending with the last day of the current year (2019). (For purposes of this 75% requirement, you can treat up to 5 days of absence from the United States as days of presence in the United States.)

When counting the days of presence in (1) and (2) above, do not include the days you were present in the U.S. as an exempt individual.

 

If you make the first-year choice, your residency starting date for the current year (2019) is the first day of the earliest 31-day period (described in (1) above) that you use to qualify for the choice. You are then treated as a U.S. resident for the rest of the year.

 

If you are present for more than one 31-day period and you satisfy condition (2) above for each of those periods, your residency starting date is the first day of the first 31-day period. If you are present for more than one 31-day period but you satisfy condition (2) above only for a later 31-day period, your residency starting date is the first day of that later 31-day period.
