Last Stimulus Check Eligibility: Given that the World Health Organization declared three years ago that the COVID-19 virus was no longer a global public health emergency, does this imply that the US government will not be assisting going forward?

“No” is the response. As long as they file their 2021 taxes by April 18, 2025, residents of the United States or nationals of other countries are eligible to receive the third and final COVID-19 stimulus payment.

If by 2021 you were no longer considered a dependent on someone else’s tax return, you may be able to claim the stimulus check on your tax return, as long as you meet other requirements.

The third stimulus check is available to any family member who is a dependent or has a Social Security number. Thus, claims cannot be made by people who simply have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

The first and second stimulus checks still have the same dependency requirements, thus you cannot claim the check for yourself by claiming someone else as your dependent.

If a dependent has an SSN or ATIN and is a legitimate citizen, permanent resident, or qualified alien, they may claim an additional $1,400 in penalties.
