No they likely don't. Living in the U.S. for more than half the year is a requirement. If it was disbursed, based on answering the required questions that they were not in the US at least 6 months, the IRS will claw it back.

I had a client in Japan who erroneously received $275 CTC in 2021 and had to pay it back with their taxes. He has lived in Japan for 5+ years, so it was weird he even received it. He was not entitled to it so had to pay it back.
