The IRS is no longer sending out checks for the first and second stimulus payments. You will have to file a 2020 income tax return to claim them, even if you normally do not file.
The missing amounts will be added to your refund as a Recovery Rebate Credit.
Not filing 2019 may also affect the timing of your third stimulus payment. The IRS is using 2020 information for the third payment. It will use 2019 information if 2020 info is not available. If the IRS does not have 2019 or 2020 info for you, then you may not get an automatic payment.
