In June 2025, lots of people in the U.S. are wondering, “Are we getting another federal stimulus check?” The answer is no—no new federal payment yet. But don’t worry! You might still get Social Security, tax refunds, or state relief money this month. Let’s break it down simply.
No New Federal Stimulus in June 2025
As of June 2025, Congress has not passed any new federal stimulus bill, and the IRS confirms that no fourth stimulus checks are being sent out . Any talk of a $5,000 “DOGE dividend” or $2,000 check is still just a rumor—nothing official yet .
What Payments Are Coming in June 2025?
Even without a new federal check, you could still receive money this month:
1. Social Security & Federal Tax Credits
- Social Security benefits go out throughout June based on birth date.
- IRS might still be sending unclaimed pandemic refunds, like the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit to about one million people .
2. State-Level Stimulus or Tax Rebates
States across the country are offering payments funded by budget surpluses or inflation relief:
- Georgia: One-time tax refunds up to $500 are being issued in June under House Bill 112. Single filers get $250; married joint filers $500 .
- New Mexico: Residents who filed by May 31 may get $500 (single) or $1,000 (joint) this summer .
- California, New York, Colorado, Texas and others also have active programs, like utility rebates or tax relief based on income and residency .
Who Qualifies & When Money Arrives
- Eligibility depends on the program: for state rebates you usually need to file your state tax return by a deadline, like May 1 or 31.
- Payment timing varies:
- Direct deposit usually starts within a week of filing.
- Paper checks take longer—even up to 10 business days .
Why No Federal Check Yet?
For a new federal stimulus, Congress must pass a law and the President must sign it. This has not happened. Plus, the chance to claim past pandemic payments ended on April 15, 2025, so those are no longer available .
What You Should Do Now
- Keep an eye on your bank account for Social Security or IRS refunds.
- Check state tax sites (like Georgia, New Mexico) for rebate eligibility and status.
- Use IRS “Where’s My Refund?” or your state’s refund portal to track payments .
- Avoid scams—only trust official government sites and ignore offers promising big stimulus via text or email .
Long-Term Outlook
Right now, no federal stimulus checks have been approved. But people are still talking about future options, like inflation relief or DOGE-style dividends. If Congress acts later this summer, trusted news outlets and the IRS will let everyone know.
In June 2025, there won’t be a fourth federal stimulus check—but many families will still get money from Social Security, unclaimed tax refunds, and state rebate programs. Be sure to check your official portals, file taxes on time, and stay clear of scam offers. If any future federal plan becomes real, you’ll see it reported by the IRS and major news outlets.
