No. The tax law that changed does not affect the 1st and 2nd stimulus checks. You did not get stimulus checks #1 or #2 unless the dependent was younger than 17 at then end of 2020. That has not changed.

The 3rd stimulus has different rules---you can get the $1400 3rd stimulus for any dependent you are claiming whether it is a college age dependent or even a parent who you claim.
