My dad claimed me as dependent in 2019 but passed away in 2020, will I still get the 3rd stimulus if it'll be based off '19 as I haven't filed (individually) for 2020?

For the 3rd stimulus check, it's a bit confusing and a gray area with not much info online. So my dad had claimed me as a dependent in 2019 ( also filed my own) but he sadly passed in 2020 shortly after tax season,  yet for the 2020 return that I have no filed yet (waiting for unemployment tax to be applied) -- I'll be filing individually so what my worry is that I won't be eligible to receive the stimulus check as the IRS will based it off the 2019 return and not the 2020 one and being I can't physically get it from my dad as he's no longer alive not sure how I would be able to receive it. I also am qualified if they based it off of the 2020 return yet that wont be processed in time. And ofcourse dependents are qualified until the age of 24 which I was when he filed and passed, but currently 25 therefore another clause to worry about if basing it off of 2019 return.. Any advice is appreciated!

I would file your 2020 return as soon as possible.  This information is provided by the IRS - Third Stimulus FAQ
