Third stimulus check

I was not eligible for the first and second round stimulus checks in early 2020 because I was a dependent . Now, I have filed my own taxes and am no longer a dependent. I was eligible and received the recovery rebate stimulus of $1800 with my 2020 tax return. I have a valid SSN and I’m under the $75,000 threshold.

Am I (still) eligible for the third stimulus check that is upcoming? The IRS website cannot fetch if I’m eligible or not.

If you qualify for a third stimulus check under The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 signed in 3/11/2021, you could get up to $1,400 for each taxpayer in your household plus $1,400 for each dependent with household income of $150,000 or less. You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.
