Overview
- The IRS and multiple outlets confirm no new federal stimulus or relief payments are planned for 2025 or slated for November.
- No authorizing legislation has passed Congress, so any future payments would require new law.
- The most recent federal relief was the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit, with automatic catch-up payments sent Dec. 2024–Jan. 2025 and the final claim deadline on April 15, 2025.
- Viral posts touting $1,702 deposits referenced Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend, a state program unrelated to the IRS.
- President Trump’s proposed $2,000 tariff dividend remains unapproved, as federal agencies warn people to reject unsolicited messages and verify IRS contact only via mailed notices or IRS.gov.
