I did not see any information on this specifically but saw news about IRS recommending individual to return the checks issued to ineligible (like check received for deceased, non-resident and other ineligible), just wanted to get advice on if this case is also considered as ineligible.

I understand the case where the individual is eligible based on 2019 and 2020 but not in 2021 need not return it, but my concern is if IRS thinks that the person is ideally not eligible (in 2020 and 2021) and made ineligible payment. Wanted to make sure if there are cases like this and what does the law/rule say.
