There are no new federal stimulus checks scheduled for release in 2025. The IRS has been wrapping up payments related to unclaimed stimulus credits from 2021, with a deadline for filing 2021 tax returns by April 15, 2025, to claim those payments. Beyond that, there are no new authorized federal stimulus check programs currently in place or expected soon. However, there is a proposed bill called the American Worker Rebate Act introduced in 2025, aiming to distribute $600 per person funded by tariffs, but it has not been approved by Congress or signed into law yet. Therefore, this proposal is not a guarantee for stimulus checks in 2025. Some states continue to offer their own tax rebates or stimulus-like payments, but these vary widely by state and are unrelated to any new federal stimulus checks. In summary, no new federal stimulus checks are expected in 2025, and any rumors about such payments are false or based on unapproved proposals.
