Stimulus and Added a Dependent

So in Feb of 2020, I added a child as a dependent through foster (State Court paperwork: Guardianship)

but there was no stimulus rebate for unpaid stimulus payments and turbo tax said I was eligible for the amounts that I received based on my other kids/family/2019.

 

I just want to double check because the checks were sent in 2020 but based on 2019 where he wasn't my dependent, I do not qualify for those checks.      Am I understanding this correctly.

 

Secondly, will the 2021 just approved amount be based on 2020 and will I be eligible for foster child payment?

 

Eligible either they should add it to my check OR eligible refund based when I file 2021 taxes
