EIC but not claim child

I am 17 years old. My mother claimed me for the EIC credit, but on her taxes under dependents I am not listed, only my sister. I have earned income and receive social security survivors benefits so I make quite a bit even though my AGI is just barely over 4,000. Does the fact that I am listed on another tax return for the EIC credit mean that I am automatically considered a dependent? I am unsure if by me not being listed in the section for dependents on her return this means I was not counted as a dependent. She received the third stimulus but did not receive one for me, only my sister. I am thinking that would mean the IRS didn't show me as a dependent for her but I am wondering if I am still technically a dependent. I don't want to flag myself by claiming I am not a dependent if they have that I should be.
