In June 2025, many Americans are asking, “Are any states sending stimulus or rebate payments this month?” While there’s no new federal stimulus, several states are giving real money to residents. This guide explains which states are paying, who gets the funds, and how to check if you’re eligible.
No New Federal Stimulus in June 2025
There is no new national stimulus check coming in June 2025. Congress did not approve any payments, and the IRS has not announced anything . So, talk about more checks—like $2,000, $5,000, or “DOGE dividends”—is just rumors, not real money.
Which States Are Paying in June 2025?
Some states are issuing one-time payments using their extra budget money or relief programs.
Georgia
- Under House Bill 112, Georgia is giving $250 to singles, $375 for heads of household, or $500 to married couples who filed 2023 and 2024 taxes by May 1 (or October 15 with extension) .
- Payments began the first week of June and should arrive within 6–8 weeks after filing .
New Mexico
- Despite earlier news, state officials confirm no rebate for 2024 tax filers .
- The last rebates were based on 2021 filings, with $500 for singles, $1,000 for joint filers, sent in June 2023 .
Other States
- California, New York, Colorado, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and more are offering smaller relief like utility credits, child rebates, or rent/property tax help .
Who Is Eligible & When to Expect Money
- Georgia: You must file both 2023 and 2024 Georgia state returns by May 1 (or October 15 with extension) and owe at least some tax .
- New Mexico: No 2024 rebates—just file 2021 again if you missed it last time.
- Other states: Check each state’s rules—usually you need to file relevant state returns and meet income or residency rules.
When payments come:
- Georgia sends direct deposit first, then paper checks. Most arrive between early and mid-June, within 6–8 weeks of filing .
- Other states vary: some send by June or July.
How to Track or Check Your Payment
- Georgia: Use the official Surplus Tax Refund checker on the Georgia Department of Revenue website. You need your SSN (or ITIN) and your 2023 AGI .
- New Mexico: No current rebate, but check the Taxation & Revenue department for future updates .
- Other states: Look up refund programs on each state’s revenue site and use their tracking tools.
Be Cautious of Scams
- Always use official government websites—Georgia DOR, IRS, or state sites.
- Never click links in emails or texts promising checks. Government agencies don’t ask for personal info via those methods .
What’s Next
- No new federal stimulus right now.
- Georgia and other states may offer more payments if they have extra money.
- If a new national stimulus is approved, you’ll hear about it from official IRS news or major news media.
