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.

@rcherenson Agree the IRS apparently erred, on more than one occasion, in sending advance CTC payments to some who do not qualify.

As for repayment, that is really a function of how much CTC the taxpayer is actually entitled to and the advance CTC payments that were made.  Not every ineligible taxpayer who received advance CTC payment will need to pay the entire sum back.
