Who’s Still Getting a Stimulus Check in April 2025?

While no new stimulus checks have been issued by Congress in 2025, millions of Americans are still receiving back payments, Recovery Rebate Credits, and state-level relief this month.

Here’s what to know about stimulus-related payments in April 2025—and whether you could still qualify.

No Federal Stimulus, But Unclaimed Money Remains

The federal government has not approved a new round of Economic Impact Payments in 2025. However, the IRS continues to process:

  • Recovery Rebate Credits for 2021
  • Late or missing stimulus checks from 2020–2021
  • Amended tax returns claiming stimulus eligibility

If you didn’t receive your third stimulus check (issued in 2021), you can still claim it by filing a 2021 tax return before April 15, 2025.

Who’s Receiving Payments This Month?

You may receive a payment in April 2025 if:

  • You recently filed a 2021 tax return claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit
  • You requested a payment trace on a missing stimulus check
  • You filed an amended return correcting dependent or income errors
  • Your state is issuing new rebate or relief payments

Payments are typically issued by direct deposit first, followed by mailed checks.

State-Level Stimulus Payments in April

Some states are continuing relief efforts in 2025. These vary by location and eligibility, but common programs include:

  • Property tax rebates
  • Energy assistance grants
  • Income-based relief tied to 2024 tax returns

To check if your state is offering new benefits, visit your state Department of Revenue or Comptroller’s website.

How to Check Your Payment Status

To track a pending payment, use these tools:

  • IRS “Where’s My Refund?” – for Recovery Rebate Credit refunds
  • IRS “Get My Payment” (archived) – for past stimulus tracking
  • Your state’s relief portal – for local aid programs

Be prepared with your Social Security number, filing status, and refund amount if applicable.

Bottom Line

There’s no new stimulus check in April 2025—but if you missed a prior payment or qualify for state aid, you could still see money hit your account this month.

File now, claim credits, and check your state’s programs before critical deadlines pass.
