If a taxpayer was eligible for a Recovery Rebate Credit in 2021, but did not file a tax return to claim one, the IRS is sending those out to eligible taxpayers by January 2025. This may be what you are referring to.
However, a dependent would not be eligible for the credit. If you claimed her as your dependent on your 2021 return, then you received the credit.
