The most recent confirmed information does not indicate a new official "second stimulus check" payment coming out in 2025. The IRS is wrapping up distribution of $1,400 stimulus payments for unclaimed 2021 credits but there is no formal announcement of a new second stimulus check being issued this year. The previous second stimulus check, issued in December 2020, paid up to $600 per person. Rumors of new stimulus checks continue to circulate, but there is no official release date or confirmation from Congress or the IRS for another second stimulus check in 2025 as of now.

To summarize:

• The "second stimulus check" was issued in late 2020 and early 2021, with a payment of up to $600 per eligible individual.
• In 2025, the IRS is sending $1,400 payments for unclaimed credits from earlier stimulus programs—not a new stimulus round.
• No official date or plan for a new second stimulus check release in 2025 has been confirmed.
• Payments for recovered credits or unclaimed stimulus funds are ongoing but are different from new stimulus checks.

Therefore, there is currently no announced release date for a "second stimulus check" in 2025, as that program ended years ago.
