There are no current plans or confirmed federal stimulus payments for 2025. Rumors about IRS direct deposit relief payments or stimulus checks, such as amounts of $1,702 or $400, are false and unverified, often linked to misinformation or scams. The last official stimulus was the 2021 $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit, with a final claim deadline of April 15, 2025. Despite various proposals, Congress has not approved any new stimulus payments, including ideas like DOGE dividends funded by government savings, tariff rebate checks, or $2,000 stimulus checks suggested by Rep. Ro Khanna to offset tariffs. Some states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Colorado, are issuing or have issued inflation relief or rebate checks based on higher sales taxes or property taxes, with amounts varying by income. President Trump has publicly discussed plans to pay $2,000 stimulus dividends from tariff revenue, but these plans remain unconfirmed and dependent on legislative approval and government funding. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by Trump and led by Elon Musk, aimed to improve government efficiency but has no current stimulus-related initiatives. Overall, the likelihood of additional federal stimulus checks in 2025 remains very low, with any future payments requiring congressional approval and legislative action.
