No, the new Child Tax Credit is for dependents under the age of 18 at the end of 2021 (previously the Child Tax Credit was for children under 17). 

 

Please see IRS Advance Child Tax Credit Payments in 2021 for additional information.

 

She can qualify for the other dependent credit. Please see Who can I claim as my dependent?
