Will I be able to claim the $1200 stimulus via turbo tax filing in 2021 if I never receive the check this year?

Assuming I don't receive the check this year, is it possible to file my year 2020 tax return in 2021 and claim the stimulus money through the tax return? I've read online that an option will show up asking if one has received the stimulus check when filing next year's return. I'm asking because I've had 1 check sent and was lost. I called the IRS and had another check sent. Two months later, still no sign of that 2nd check. I'm starting to wonder if I'm wasting my time. I'm hoping I can get the money via TurboTax filing.
