If I claim someone as a dependent on my 2021 taxes, will they have to pay back their 2021 $1,400 EIP? They were were not a dependent in 2020 and filed their own taxes.

Hello, I was wanting to find out if I were to claim my adult child as a dependent on my 2021 tax returns this year, will they have to pay back their 2021 $1,400 economic stimulus payment they received? They filed their own taxes in 2020 and were not claimed as a dependent, which is the return the EIP was based on last year. I am confused and need clarification. I cannot seem to find a written answer anywhere. Thank you for any clarification.
