The third stimulus check (Economic Impact Payment 3 or EIP3) eligibility was based on 2019 or 2020 income, with full payments for individuals under $75k ($150k married filing jointly) and prorated amounts up to $80k ($160k married), plus $1,400 per dependent (including adult dependents). Most eligible people received it automatically, but if you missed out due to lower 2021 income or new dependents, you needed to claim it as the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit by filing a 2021 tax return (even if you don't normally file) by the deadline (typically late 2022/2023).

Yes, the IRS announced in late 2024 it would send up to $1,400 to about 1 million taxpayers who missed claiming the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit (third stimulus payment) by automatically issuing payments via direct deposit or paper check, using 2023 tax return info, with most expected by early 2025; eligible individuals who didn't receive these funds might still get them if they filed a 2021 return by the April 15, 2025 deadline. These payments were for those who didn't receive the full third stimulus or didn't claim the credit, with amounts depending on income, filing status, and dependents.
