@Mindboggling20 If you receive Social Security you should have received all three stimulus checks automatically---which one(s) did you not receive? The first one was in 2020 for $1200; the second one was in late 2020/early 2021 for $600, and the third one was in 2021 for $1400.
If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd EIP payments then file a 2020 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit to get the payments.
The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return. If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021
The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”) If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st and 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.

There is not a place to enter anything about the 3rd payment on a 2020 tax return/
The IRS is issuing 3rd stimulus checks on its own timetable.
You can use the IRS Get My Payment site to see what is expected for your 3rd stimulus check:
