There will not be a new federal stimulus check issued in October 2025. However, Alaska residents will receive a $1,702 payment in October 2025 as part of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), which is often confused with a federal stimulus check. This PFD payment is funded by the state's oil revenue and is not related to any federal COVID-era stimulus programs. The direct deposit payments for Alaska's PFD start on October 2, 2025, while paper checks will begin mailing on October 23, 2025. No other states are currently issuing such stimulus-style payments for October 2025, and there is no nationwide federal stimulus check planned for that month.

In summary:

• No new federal stimulus check in October 2025.
• Alaska PFD payment of $1,702 is scheduled starting October 2 for direct deposit, October 23 for paper checks.
• This payment is specific to Alaska residents and not federal stimulus.
• No other states have announced similar stimulus checks this fall.
