NO. As long as it is a QUALIFIED gift that you are receiving according to the IRS gov website definition of a gift.

Any transfer to an individual, either directly or indirectly, where full consideration (measured in money or money's worth) is not received in return.

The person who receives the QUALIFIED gift does not have to report the QUALIFIED gift amount to the IRS or pay gift or income tax on its value.

However, what you call a gift and what the IRS defines as one may be different.

Go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for Gift Tax

No, you do not claim gift money as income because gift money is not considered "taxable income" within the meaning of the US Internal Revenue Code. In fact money given as a gift may be subject to federal gift tax that the person making the gift has to pay under certain very specific circumstances, which no one wants to read about here. Feel free to check the IRS Code for the details.
