There is no official stimulus check planned for August 2025. The IRS has confirmed that there are no plans to issue new federal stimulus payments this year; the only payments being issued now are tax refunds from filed returns. Although some lawmakers have proposed stimulus-like bills, none have been approved by Congress or the President. Some states, however, are offering their own relief payments, but these are separate from any federal stimulus checks. Rumors about stimulus checks, such as amounts around $1,390 or $2,000, have been debunked or remain just proposals without legislative approval. President Trump has mentioned the idea of potential tariff rebate checks, but these have not been authorized or distributed yet. Overall, a new federal stimulus check is unlikely to come in August 2025 or soon thereafter.
