$1750 Stimulus Checks Coming: In 2025, many Americans are searching for relief from the ongoing effects of high inflation and rising living costs. News and social media have been buzzing with claims about a new $1750 stimulus check program, said to be more inclusive than previous rounds and aimed at supporting a broad range of people, including working families, retirees, and Social Security recipients. But what is the reality behind these reports, and what should you know to avoid confusion or disappointment?

The Truth About Federal Stimulus Checks in 2025

As of June 2025, there is no official federal government program issuing a new, broad-based $1750 stimulus check to Americans. While the idea of another round of direct payments is popular and frequently discussed in political and economic circles, the U.S. government has not announced or approved such a program for this year. The most recent federal stimulus checks were distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the last major payments occurring in 2021 under the American Rescue Plan, which provided up to $1,400 per eligible individual.

Recent Developments and What Is Actually Available

This year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has focused on helping people who missed out on previous stimulus payments. Specifically, the IRS is sending out special payments to about one million taxpayers who did not claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, which could be worth up to $1,400 per person. These payments are automatic for those who filed a 2021 tax return but did not claim the credit, and should be received by late January 2025. For those who have not yet filed a 2021 tax return, there is still time to do so and claim any missed credits, but the deadline is April 15, 2025.

There have also been discussions in Washington about the possibility of new stimulus payments, but as of now, no law has been passed to authorize a $1750 check or any similar broad-based payment for 2025. Any claims about an active $1750 stimulus check program are not supported by official government sources.

Who Is Eligible for Current Payments?

Eligibility for the current IRS payments is limited to those who were eligible for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit but did not claim it. This includes individuals who met the income requirements at the time—generally under $75,000 for single filers, $150,000 for married couples, or $112,500 for heads of household—and who either did not receive the third stimulus check or received less than the full amount. If you receive Social Security, SSI, SSDI, or VA benefits, you may also be eligible if you met the requirements in 2021.

How to Make Sure You Don’t Miss Out

To ensure you receive any money you are owed, file your 2021 federal tax return if you have not already done so, even if you had little or no income. The IRS will use your most recent tax return information to process any payments. If your banking or address details have changed, update them with the IRS to avoid delays. Be cautious of scams—official IRS communications will never ask for personal information by phone, email, or text.

How Can the Money Be Used?

Any payments received as part of the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit are yours to use as you choose. Many people use these funds for essential expenses like rent, groceries, medical bills, or debt repayment.

Final Thoughts

While the idea of a new $1750 stimulus check is appealing, there is currently no such federal program in place for 2025. The only payments being distributed are for those who missed out on previous stimulus rounds, specifically the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit. Stay informed through official IRS updates and avoid misinformation or scams.
