Expectations of US citizens receiving a new stimulus check of $2,000 in June 2025 are spreading rapidly on social media and websites. Many people are hopeful about this potential payment, especially those who are senior citizens, disabled or come from the middle- and low-income groups. But the question is—is this news really true or just another rumor?
At present, neither the US Congress nor the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has confirmed this alleged fourth stimulus check. On the contrary, experts and officials are constantly warning people to get information only from official sources and not trust any unknown website or link.
Background of stimulus payment and three installments so far
If we look back, the US government had issued three major stimulus checks to provide economic relief to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first installment was of $1,200, the second of $600 and the third of $1,400. This relief was sent directly to the bank accounts of the citizens and its aim was to get people out of the financial crisis.
The last date to claim the third stimulus check was April 15, 2025. If a person did not file taxes on time, he cannot avail himself of the rebate credit. This means that the money has now gone back to the federal treasury.
Is there any eligibility criteria set for the fourth stimulus check?
According to recent rumors, this potential fourth stimulus check could be for $2,000 and it can be given mainly to the following groups:
- Senior Citizens
- Disabled Individuals
- Middle- and low-income families
- People whose annual income is less than $75,000 (single) or $150,000 (joint filing)
Along with this, it is being told that for this payment it will be necessary that the applicant has filed his tax return and has a valid Social Security Number (SSN). However, the truth is that all these things have not been confirmed by any official source so far. That is, all this information is based only on speculation and rumors.
Important precautions for taxpayers
Meanwhile, it is also being told on many social media posts and websites that one can apply for this stimulus by visiting the IRS site. But the truth is that no such form or process is currently active. The IRS has also made it clear that the public should only get information from their official website or trusted government channels.
People have also been advised not to upload their personal data, such as SSN, bank details or ID documents on any unknown or untrusted site. This may be part of a cyber fraud or phishing scam.
Is there any possibility of a DOGE dividend plan?
In February 2025, former President Donald Trump mentioned another interesting proposal, which he called the “DOGE Dividend.” According to him, every citizen could get $5,000 through the savings of a new “Government Efficiency Department” led by Elon Musk.
But neither any official document of this plan has been presented, nor has it been introduced in Congress. This means that the idea is currently only in the status of a political statement or suggestion, which has no basis legally or practically.
Status so far: Will there be any stimulus check in June or July 2025?
So far, no government agency, Congress or the IRS has confirmed that the fourth stimulus check will be given in 2025. The news that is going viral, especially about any kind of payment in June or July, is all based on unverified and unreliable sources.
If you are expecting a refund from the IRS, you can use the “Where’s My Refund” tool by visiting their official site. Or you can also check the status on the website of your state’s tax agency.
Some important advice that every citizen should follow
- Trust only official sources—get information from the portals of the IRS and Congress.
- Keep your personal data safe—do not share your information in unknown links, emails or calls.
- Do not take decisions based on any rumor—do fact-checking before taking any economic step.
- Be careful of social media rumors—not every viral post is true.
- Pay your taxes on time—this is the most important step to get any future relief.
Conclusion: Stay away from rumors; focus on the truth.
The news of getting a fourth stimulus check of $2,000 in 2025 is just speculation at the moment. No government agency has confirmed this. Therefore, it is important that citizens do not fall prey to rumors and do not fall prey to any scam.
If any new relief scheme actually comes in the future, then information about it will be given first through official announcements from the IRS, the White House or Congress. Until then, stay alert, stay informed and use discretion in your financial decisions.
