Right. You said one thing, I thought of a different one. You are talking about the Advance Child Tax Credit payments, not your credit for the year he was born? In that case, it depends upon when you filed your 2020 return. If it was recently, they may have figured the advance payments before your return was processed, and so you didn't make the list. You can check on that at the Advance Child Tax Credit Payments Portal. If your dependent is not listed there, you won't be able to add him now, but they are doing an update later in the summer to provide that ability. When they do, they'll recalculate the remaining payments and start sending them.
