Here is a link to the requirements to be eligible for the Child Tax Credit. 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/family/what-is-the-additional-child-tax-credit/L4IBvQted 

In 2020 the age requirement was under age 17.   However, the new requirement for 2021 is under age 18. 

Here is a link to some frequently asked questions.  Look at B3 and B8 to determine if you are eligible for the Child Tax Credit.

https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/2021-child-tax-credit-and-advance-child-tax-credit-payments-t... 

IRS will determine, based on your 2020 tax return if you are eligible for the 'Advanced Child Tax credit payments.  If you are eligible and did not receive all or any of the Advanced Payments, you will get the credit when you file your 2021 tax return.
