To be eligible, the child must be under 19 at the end of the year unless they're a student and a child, brother, sister, foster child, stepsibling, half-brother or half-sister or a descendant of any of them. Those who have a child who qualifies for the Recovery Rebate Credit can claim the dependent when they file their 2021 tax return this year. So, any eligible dependent that came into the family last year wouldn't have been included in the payment amount. Why? Because the 2021 Economic Impact Payments were based on a person's 2020 or 2019 return.

However, some Americans will be able to claim additional payments when they file their taxes and they could be eligible for the full $1,400 payment. Republicans and Democrats fought hard over the issue of stimulus checks after passing the first round in 2020, so most Americans have already received all the money they're likely to get. Some Americans will be eligible for a $1,400 stimulus check this year even if Congress doesn't pass any legislation for another round of checks.
