With comments about payments from President Donald Trump to rebates to certain states, it's easy to see why Americans may be confused about a stimulus check

Rumors of new IRS stimulus payments in November are circulating online, but the IRS has confirmed no such plans exist for 2025. These claims are false, with the last federal payments issued in 2021. Scammers are exploiting these rumors to solicit personal information.

Despite viral claims and political proposals, no federal stimulus checks are being issued in 2025. Here's what's real, what's hearsay, and what Americans can expect.

No new federal stimulus checks are authorized for November 2025; Congress has not passed any new legislation, and the IRS has made no confirmation. President Donald Trump has proposed using tariff revenue to pay a dividend of at least $2,000 per person (excluding high-income individuals), but this is currently just a proposal.

Despite the ongoing government shutdown, many Americans are still receiving state-level relief and other assistance checks

Rumors continue swirling online about IRS relief payments landing in bank accounts by November or year’s end — but are they true?
