First stimulus check

I'm started filling out the 2020 tax return thru TT and I'm asked if either myself and/or my wife received the first stimulus check.  I noted that we didn't so TT showed a $2400 credit.  My wife was going thru the immigration process for a green card from Canada to the US earlier this year.  When I originally did my taxes last spring she just had a TSIN and not a SS number.  Neither her nor I received any money from the first stimulus CARES program.  In October she was granted permanent residences and received a Social Security number and card.  My question is whether the $2400 TT credit is something I can now legitimately claim or not.

 

Thank you,
