As of December 2025 there has been no approved or scheduled stimulus checks. Here is everything to know about what to expect.

The attention on stimulus checks picked up after a Nov. 9 post by Trump on Truth Social in which the president raved about the success of American tariffs and wrote that a "dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."

$2,000 stimulus checks have not been confirmed and are unlikely to arrive in December 2025. People should take any news or notifications that claim otherwise with caution, as they are fraudulent. However, Trump indicated the $2,000 checks would arrive mid-2026, although no concrete payment plan exists and Congress has not approved the checks.

Trump proposed $2,000 stimulus checks funded by tariff revenue for low and middle-income Americans. Payments are unlikely to arrive before Christmas 2025 due to legislative requirements. Distribution may align with November 2026 midterm elections.

On Nov. 9, Trump wrote on social media that his tariff plan will benefit working-class people and those who oppose the tariffs are "FOOLS!"

Rumors claiming President Donald Trump will issue $2,000 stimulus checks before the end of the year continue to circulate.

President Donald Trump has promised to deliver $2,000 tariff rebate checks next year, raising hopes of a lifeline for millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet.

Many Americans have visions of $2,000 stimulus checks dancing in the heads thanks to the president’s promises. The Trump administration seems resolute in delivering a welcome boost to middle-class taxpayers,

WASHINGTON — Congress is poised to pass legislation that would distribute another round of stimulus checks to most Americans. The House of Representatives could vote on a bill next week and President Joe Biden wants to sign it into law by mid-March.
