The new IRS stimulus payments, tariff rebate checks, and additional financial relief actions discussed a lot in the year 2025 are quite possible. Nonetheless, the latest updates can not be confirmed by the official statements of the IRS or the U.S. Congress about the further federal stimulus check. Any remaining recovery rebate credits, which were associated with the prior wave of COVID-19-related pandemic stimulus payments, were set to run out in April 2025. It does not imply any new federal stimulus similar to the ones of the past years. Alleged direct IRS payments, in various amounts of between $1,390 and 2000 have been officially denied as fake or rumors.
| Information Type | Status 2025 | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New Federal Stimulus Check | No official confirmation | Deadline for claims expired April 15, 2025 |
| Tariff Rebate Checks | Proposed but not approved | American Worker Rebate Act pending |
| Tax Refund Deadline | October 15, 2025 | Refunds processed ~3 weeks after filing |
| Social Security Payments | On schedule in October 2025 | Regular benefits, not stimulus |
And so What about Tariff Rebate Checks?
Although another fourth stimulus check has yet to be passed, tariff rebate checks have been discussed as a type of financial stimulus. This was proposed by President Donald Trump who proposed issuing tariff revenue rebates to taxpayers. The idea is that with the revenue gained through the tariffs, one sends rebate checks that could relieve the financial strain of inflation and tariffs on the households. An American Worker Rebate Act bill was introduced which offered at least 600 adults and dependents with a total of 2,400 per family of four. But this bill has not been enacted or adopted and its future in the Congress is unpredictable. Thus, 2025 tariff rebate payments are only speculative and not assured in 2025.
The dates on which payment and refunds are due to IRS should be used by the company.
The IRS reminds taxpayers that the extended 2024 tax filing deadline is October 15, 2025, although they are still required to file their 2024 tax returns. Tax refunds, including any due credits are usually processed after being submitted, in most cases within three weeks when directed to be deposited. Check refunds are made on paper. Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks to eligible individuals will be paid as planned in October 2025, but these are not stimulus checks payments. It should be mentioned that now the IRS does not provide any extra stimulus payments on top of these regular tax refunds and social benefits[2].
Prevention of Fraud and Misinformation.
With all the misinformation surrounding stimulus check, it is crucial that citizens use official sources only, e.g. IRS site to stay informed. Frauds that promise stimulus payments are a common occurrence that attempts to steal personal or financial data. The IRS and Social Security Administration warn against disclosing sensitive information on social media pages and scams for the third-party websites and urge taxpayers to beware of rumors. Any interested party can safely log in to view his or her payment status via the online account portal of the IRS.
