There is no stimulus money for 2024.  The stimulus checks were for 2020 and 2021.   It is too late to get the stimulus for 2020.    If you were eligible for the stimulus for 2021 it is not too late if you file a 2021 tax return by April 15, 2025.   After that, the EIP will be forfeited.   But you have to check and see what the IRS shows for you on your  IRS account:

If it shows a payment of $1400 there, you already received it and cannot get it again on a tax return.
