I moved last November across the country. The last address the IRS had for me is a PO Box owned by a man who is very ill, and as it was a business PO Box, none of my mail can be forwarded from it. I filed through Turbotax a few weeks ago, with my new address, but I never set up a bank account with the IRS. The IRS system will NOT let me set up online because for some weird reason they can't verify my phone number?! (Verizon cell phone I've had for over a decade). So I'm sure my check will be mailed to that old PO Box, and will just sit there for 6 months or a year -if it isn't stolen. Also, if the IRS sends a verification letter to that address, I can't get it! Help! Thanks.
Since you filed a return this year with your new address, the stimulus check will be mailed to your new address. The IRS will use the most recent information.

A33. To change your address:
Then why havent I gotten any of my 3 stimulus checks. All have said scheduled to be mailed to my address but not 1 of them were sent I cant figure out why
If all three stimulus payments were mailed and you have not received any of them, then you should consider starting a payment trace.
You should request a payment trace to track your payment if Get My Payment shows a payment was issued to you and you have not received it within the timeframes below. IRS assistors cannot initiate a payment trace unless it has been:
If the checks were not cashed, the IRS will issue you a new ones.

If your last filed return has a bad address on it then you need to mail in a form 8822 :

The missing first 2 stimulus payments should have been reported on the 2020 return you filed as a credit on line 30 of the form 1040. The third stimulus payment would be released once they process the 2020 return ... if you don't get it by January then that will be a credit on the 2021 return.
