No----it is still self-employment income whether they used a 1099NEC or 1099Misc. You have to report it on a tax return. You will be paying 15.3% for self-employment tax. If you have any expenses for clothes, shoes, boots, etc that you had to purchase for yourself, etc. put those expenses on a schedule C. If you are not someone else's dependent you can get the EIP payments but you can expect the SE tax to be taken out of the EIP amount. Your refund will end up on line 35a of your Form 1040.
