As of now, there has not been any approval for a $2,100 4th federal stimulus check, nor is one scheduled to be processed by Congress or the IRS. It is easy to be confused by the headlines. This article will lay out the current legislative status, eligibility, and guidelines pertaining to a future payment.
The Facts Concerning the $2,100 Fourth Stimulus
Despite the many conversations on social media and the speculative news stories, there is no 4th stimulus payment scheduled for 2025, nor has the IRS or Congress authorized one. The IRS continues to warn taxpayers that online claims of a $2,100 stimulus payment are false claims, and taxpayers should be on the lookout for misinformation or scam attempts.
Federal Proposals And State Payments
The most related federal legislation for another round payments is, the “American Worker Rebate Act of 2025,” which is proposed by Senator Josh Hawley. This bill attempts for $600 per adult and dependent child. Or $2,400 per family of 4 which would be funded through new tariff revenue. However, as of September 2025, no revenue has been received through new tariff revenue, and Congress has yet to approve the Act. Therefore, no checks are guaranteed, and no timeline has been established for the distributin of checks. And, of course, no direct tariff stimulus payments or new checks that would be of any significance to inflation would be made. However, there are state stimulus checks for inflation that are made for low income individuals. And there are state stimulus checks for inflation that are offered to low income individuals which are smaller in value compared to property stimulus rebate checks.
IRS explains eligibility and payment status
If a new direct payment is to be approved, it is likely that stem the qualifying criteria from the previous stimulus payments. There would be full payment for single taxpayers with $75,000 at AGI, with a phase out at $99,000, and full payment for married filers with $150,000 at AGI, a phase-out at $198,000. Also, dependent children would qualify as long as they are under 17 and fulfilling criteria established by the IRS. As it stands, there are no new confirmed eligibility for $2,100 checks, and these no checks are currently scheduled.
Payment Dates and Warnings from the IRS
Currently, there are no set payment dates, and the IRS has no confirmed payment dates. Also, the IRS has a big warning about not giving away any bank or Social Security details to anyone saying they will give stimulus payments soon. It’s a scam. You’ll know for sure if there are direct deposits or checks available only after the law has been signed and the IRS has posted their official statements.
