Confirmation Status of Stimulus Checks in 2025: No Payments Verified as of Yet
In 2025, the American Worker Rebate Act was introduced by the U.S. Congress, proposing direct payments of $500 to eligible American workers. However, the bill, which was introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley, has not been passed by Congress yet. Another proposal, the "DOGE dividend" tied to tariffs on imports, remains an idea and has not been implemented.
If you're curious about the status of your tax refund, the IRS offers a simple solution. You can track your federal tax refund online at IRS.gov/refunds using the "Where's My Refund" tool or by calling the IRS at 800-829-1954. For state tax refunds, most states offer online portals. For example, Delaware's Division of Taxation portal, Pennsylvania's PA Department of Revenue site, and New Jersey's Treasury Department can be used for tracking.
It's important to note that some states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Colorado, have issued one-time inflation payments, but these payments do not count as federal stimulus checks. The fourth stimulus package has not been passed by Congress in 2025, and there are no $1,390, $1,700, or $2,000 stimulus checks approved by any federal agency in 2025.
Scammers often spread false stories about new stimulus checks to steal personal information. To avoid falling victim to such scams, never click links in emails or texts about checks, never share personal or banking info unless on a verified government site, and report fraud to the IRS or the Federal Trade Commission. The IRS has flagged rising text scams and phishing attempts linked to fake payments.
Missed the deadline for the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit? Don't worry, the U.S. Treasury now keeps unclaimed funds from that credit. The deadline for taxpayers to file a 2021 tax return and claim the credit was April 15, 2025.
Trump's 'DOGE dividend' and tariff rebates remain ideas and have not been implemented. The "DOGE dividend" proposal, worth $5,000 for taxpayers, using federal savings, has not been submitted to Congress.
In conclusion, while there have been proposals for additional stimulus payments and rebates, none have been confirmed by the IRS or Congress in 2025. It's crucial to stay vigilant against scams and to check trusted government sources for updates on your tax refund and potential future stimulus payments. If you're unsure about eligibility for any payments, talk to a licensed tax professional.
