Yes, you are eligible to claim the third recovery rebate for 2021 provided you no longer qualify to be considered a dependent. If you were claimed as a dependent on your 2020 return and then you did not receive the payment from the IRS. If you are not being claimed this year, and you are claiming yourself, you can claim the recovery rebate.
You would answer no to the question about the third stimulus if you are not a dependent for 2021. You can claim yourself and take the credit since the payment did not go to you.
