You can file a 2021 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review to seek the 3rd EIP payment that went out for 2021. If someone could claim you as a dependent for 2021, you were not eligible then and will not be eligible now. Before you file a return, make sure you did not receive it already. Check your online account with the IRS to see what they show for you.
If you did not receive the 3rd stimulus check, you can get it by filing a 2021 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit in Federal Review. The stimulus amount will show up on line 30 of the Form 1040.
Check your own bank account for deposits of the stimulus checks, and check your online account with the IRS to see what the IRS shows they sent to you.
Try checking your online account with the IRS (and if you filed a joint return—check for BOTH of you)

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
Or use the paper forms to mail:
