Short answer: There is no confirmed federal stimulus check program in 2025. Congress has not passed any new stimulus legislation, and there’s no official IRS plan to issue automatic payments this year. What is happening based on current reporting

• Multiple outlets are reporting ongoing discussions or proposals about possible stimulus-like payments tied to tariffs or other policies, but none have been enacted into law as of now. These are proposals and political statements, not guaranteed payments.

• The last major round of payments (Recovery Rebate Credit, tied to 2021 tax returns) was completed with deadlines that have passed. There is no new, broadly applicable federal check program in place for 2025.

What you can do to stay informed

• Watch for official guidance from the IRS and U.S. Congress. If any new stimulus legislation passes, credible outlets will report deadlines, eligibility, and how payments would be issued.

• Be cautious of social media rumors or unverified posts promising checks; verify with reputable sources or official government announcements.
