You can file a 2021 return until April 15, 2025. The IRS mailed more checks in January 2025.
You want to see if the IRS thinks you have already received it. See IRS Economic Impact Payment for the steps. If the IRS believes you have already received it, you will need to work through them. You might be able to call the IRS for help at 800-919-9835.
If the IRS says you need to file a return, then you should file one.
