Can I still get the first two stimulus packages since I’ve filed my 2020 taxes?

I worked a job that paid me in cash in 2019 so I couldn’t file taxes last year but I was told that I could still get the first two stimulus packages by filing this year, is that true?

Stimulus payments were advance payments of the Recovery Rebate Credit, which is on 2020 tax returns for eligible taxpayers. If you didn't receive the full amount for your first or second-round stimulus payments, you can claim it on a 2020 tax return, if eligible. And you are still required to file a tax return, report your income, and pay taxes if you are paid in cash.
