when will we get stimulus checks 2025

The next federal stimulus checks for U.S. citizens in 2025 are payments of $1,390 targeted at low- and middle-income households, veterans, and senior citizens, meant to help with rising living costs. These payments are expected to begin disbursement in late summer 2025, delivered through direct deposit, paper check, or EIP debit card depending on IRS records. Eligibility generally includes individuals with incomes under $75,000 and married couples filing jointly under $150,000, including recipients of Social Security, SSDI, SSI, and Veterans Affairs benefits. The payments are tax-free and do not affect other benefits such as Medicaid or SNAP. There is no new $2,000 stimulus payment planned; the $1,390 payment is the confirmed federal relief for 2025. Eligible recipients must have previously filed tax returns to receive the payment. These stimulus checks are expected to be distributed gradually over weeks starting late summer 2025.
