Question

I am claiming my Uncle for 2020 tax year. And he did not get any stimulus checks. On my return they ask you "Did you get a stimulus payment?" Can I answer no for him?

If you are claiming a dependent who was over the age of 16 at the end of 2020 you do not get stimulus money for him.   And if he was a dependent then HE cannot get stimulus money. Dependents are not eligible to receive a stimulus check.
