Do you believe the government should approve another round of federal stimulus checks?
Despite widespread social media claims, the IRS has confirmed that no new federal stimulus checks—such as the rumored $1,390 payment—are scheduled for summer 2025. These rumors, while persistent, have been debunked by the IRS and AP fact-checkers. Stimulus checks must be approved by Congress, and no new legislation has passed. Some confusion stems from existing Recovery Rebate Credits, which were only available to individuals who missed previous COVID-era payments and had to file by April 15, 2025. The spread of misleading headlines has reignited public debate over whether additional federal economic relief is warranted as inflation, housing costs, and debt burdens continue to impact Americans.
