The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has clarified that there are no new federal stimulus checks or automatic relief payments authorized for November 2025. A recent fact-check revealed that no such payments have been confirmed by the IRS, despite online posts referencing a proposed 'tariff dividend' plan floated by President Donald Trump. The confusion stems from a viral social media post and early stimulus initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a recent statement by Trump on Truth Social suggesting that a dividend of at least $2,000 per person would be paid to everyone, excluding high-income individuals. However, this is still only a suggestion and no payments have been authorized. Scammers are taking advantage of this confusion, sending phishing emails and texts asking for bank account details or Social Security numbers. The IRS warns that it never initiates such communications, and individuals should only rely on official sources like IRS.gov or the Treasury Department for legitimate news. To avoid falling victim to scams, the IRS advises verifying any communication regarding the stimulus check through official channels. Filing tax returns and keeping information up to date will also ensure eligibility for any potential payment. Ignore posts asking for urgent action to 'claim' a payment, as these are likely scams. Stay cautious of messages promoting immediate sign-ups or links to claim money.
