I received a 1099-MISC from my employer's third party absence management provider. What description needs to be included for the "reason" portion?

I took a leave of absence from work this year due to the birth of a child. My employer uses a third party provider to manage the leave process and as such, I received a 1099-MISC from that third party. Since it was not a job, I am unsure what to include for the reason portion.

You can enter something like " Leave of Absence due to birth of child paid by third party."

On the screen that says, "Did the "XXXX" involve work like your main job?" answer "No"

On the screen that says, "Did the XXXX involve the intent to make money?" Also answer "No".

This is so TurboTax does not enter your 1099-MISC on a Form Schedule C as self-employment income.
