#3rd economic impact payment

When i filed my 2020 taxes my son was considered a dependent and the 3rd stimulus payment we received included payment for him as our dependent.  While starting my 2021 taxes i realized that he is no longer considered a dependent.  While helping with his taxes the software asked if he received a 3rd stimulus payment.  So I'm confused by how the question is asked.  He did not receive a payment, and when answered that way turbo tax claims the credit on his return.  Is this correct?  When it says did you receive a payment, does it mean a payment directly to you , in your name, or that someone received a payment because of you.  The language on the IRS website is very similar.

 

Thanks
