The Brief

LOS ANGELES - A factual overview of stimulus and relief payments in the U.S. indicates that no new federal stimulus checks have been authorized by Congress or confirmed by the IRS for November 2025.

While President Donald Trump has proposed a $2,000 tariff dividend using tariff revenue, this remains a proposal that has not been approved.

What we know:

The last round of economic impact payments came in 2021, and any future federal payments would require new legislation from Congress.

The maximum payment for this credit was $1,400 per individual.

These payments went out automatically from December 2024 to January 2025.
