No. Did you actually read the article? The article says that adult dependents do not qualify for a stimulus payment or rebate, that it will be paid to the taxpayer who claims them as a dependent instead. The article says that adult dependents should very carefully review their finances to make sure they actually can be claimed as a dependent, because if they file as independent, they would get the stimulus in their own name. Then the article says that adult dependents should not file as independent if it is not allowed in their situation, because that could cause an audit.
And the article title itself is false, because if an adult is independent and gets the stimulus in their own name, then they aren’t a dependent. And in fact, it is impossible for anyone who is a dependent of someone else to get a stimulus check or rebate in their own name.
The only way for an adult dependent to get a rebate in their own name is to not be a dependent any more. If this is true, then all is well. If it is false, it is tax fraud.
And lastly, you said that your dependent is your child, for which the dependent rules are completely different.
