Direct answer: As of November 2025, there are no new federal stimulus checks being issued. Any information circulating about automatic or new IRS payments for 2025 has not been confirmed by Congress or the IRS, and official sources indicate no new stimulus rounds are planned or authorized at this time. If you’re awaiting a payment, the IRS Get My Payment tool and official IRS notices are the safest sources to verify status. What to know and how to check
- Current status: No new stimulus payments have been authorized for 2025. Rumors have circulated online, but they lack official approval or details from Congress or the IRS. If there were any updates, they would be announced by the IRS and covered by reputable news outlets. [citation: up-to-date reporting on stimulus status]
- How you would receive payment if a new round were authorized: payments are typically issued automatically via direct deposit to the bank account on file, or by paper check if no direct deposit information is on file. The timing would be determined by IRS schedules and program rules. [citation: general stimulus payment process]
- What to do now:
- Check the IRS Get My Payment portal for the latest status on any legitimate payments you might be expecting. [citation: official IRS guidance]
* Watch official IRS communications and trusted news outlets for any new legislative action or program announcements. [citation: official commentary and media coverage]
* Be wary of scams. If you receive messages claiming a new payment, verify through IRS channels before sharing personal information. [citation: consumer advisories]
