As the festive season approaches, discussions about new stimulus payments have once again resurfaced online. Social media platforms are filled with posts claiming that new cheques worth between £1,350 and £1,600 (approximately between $1,783 and $2,113) are coming to Americans before Christmas. However, official sources warn that most of these claims are unverified and potentially fraudulent.
According to Yahoo News, neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor Congress has approved any 2025 stimulus cheques. Federal officials have confirmed that no verified proposals are in motion. The United States government has not announced any direct deposit, tariff refund, or rebate payments for this year. Lawmakers remain focused on passing broader government funding legislation, leaving stimulus proposals stalled in committee.
