New dependent

Hello, I am MFS with NRA spouse and moved abroad. I am a US citizen and file taxes every year. I have no income during 2021 so far while on maternity leave with the new baby. Spouse has no US income and no ITIN, and not interested in going through process to obtain one. Two children, one being a new dependent. Do I even qualify for the child tax credit? Received most recent refund (from when had a job and was living in US) by debit card sent to old address and then rerouted to family member's address. How can I make sure it doesn't arrive automatically to an old address and I'd have to pay it back? Thank you for answering my question and have a nice day.
