Free Money Alert! 💸 18 States Are Sending Out Checks – Are YOU Getting One?

The IRS Has Spoken

The IRS has directly confirmed: there are no new federal stimulus checks planned in 2025. If you see headlines promising otherwise, they’re either misunderstandings or scams. Always double-check on irs.gov before getting your hopes up—or worse, giving away personal info.

Rumors vs. Reality

Because social media is full of “breaking news” posts that spread faster than facts, let’s clear this up:

Claim Reality
“18 states sending new $1,390 checks.” ❌ False. No such coordinated program exists.
“Federal government approves $2,000 stimulus.” ❌ False. No law has been passed.
“IRS is sending direct deposits this summer.” ❌ False. IRS confirmed nothing is happening.
“Alaska residents getting checks in August.” ✅ True—PFD is real and already rolling out.
“New York offering new tax relief.” ✅ True—STAR program Phase 2 is active.
“Guaranteed income programs paying out in California and other states.” ✅ True, but only to targeted groups.
