Not sure what you mean.  There were only 3 Economic Impact Payments (stimulus).  There were 2 during tax year 2020 and one during tax year 2021.  That was all that were authorized by the federal government.

I have seen several of these questions---it seems like there is some sort of rumor going around that a 4th stimulus goes out on November 30.  There is no 4th stimulus.   If you read or heard that somewhere, it was incorrect.

There have been 3 federal Stimulus payments.  Are you asking about a state payment? 

EIP1 The first Stimulus payment was 1,200 for each spouse and 500 for each dependent under 17.  Came out in spring of 2020.

EIP2 The second Stimulus was 600 per person and dependents under 17. The 2nd stimulus checks started going out at the very end of December 2020 and continued into January/Feb 2021.

The first 2 Stimulus payments went on your 2020 return even if you got the second one in Jan/Feb 2021.

EIP3 The 3rd Stimulus payment started going out in March 2021 and is for 1,400 for each person listed on your tax return, no age limit. The IRS used your 2020 (or 2019) return to send the checks out fast. If your 2021 return changes and you qualify for more you can claim the extra as the Recovery Rebate Credit on 1040 line 30. But line 30 is only if you didn't get the full amount or qualify for more. Not the amount you already got. The IRS also sent out letter 6475 to tell you how much they sent you . If you are married then each spouse should get a letter for half.
