I have a couple clients that have a ITIN. They are not residence, they just have the ITIN. Do they qualify for the EIP? One customer has a Father that is elderly and a Resident, can he apply for the EIP?

No, people with ITINs do not qualify for the EIP or the Recovery Rebate on the tax return.
You asked two different questions: "Do they qualify for the EIP? One customer has a Father that is elderly and a Resident, can he apply for the EIP?"
Perhaps it would help to review what is really happening:
The funds were paid out as Advanced payment against a projection. The projection used 2018 or 2019 tax returns. But 2020 is the Actuals. You use the 2020 return to reconcile what a person is entitled to, against what they got.
If the person is not a dependent in 2020, then they would be entitled to the payment/credit as individual filers. That doesn't mean "not being claimed." It means "no longer qualifies as a dependent."

One for each EIP.
You already asked this type of topic. Are you not reading the links for resources given to you to learn from?

It's the same thing. You need to learn the eligibility per those IRS links.
Thank you. I appreciate the help.
Yes i did read these links, but just saw on the news that the individuals that have a ITIN number could possibly qualify if they pay there taxes. but i have found that it is not that case and they do not qualify but the individuals that have a combination (which not sure what is meant by this)? if its a combination of being married to a US citizen on a Tax return? I just wanted to clarify.
"I just wanted to clarify."
Go to the IRS to read who is eligible. Each topic is a different EIP, so read all the parts for who is eligible.
And I image in the news is covering the next payment that isn't yet signed into law. Not the first or the second. The qualifications are not always the same.
Thank you
