People online have been discussing the possibility of new stimulus checks for November. Many posts began spreading after President Donald Trump announced his intention to give Americans a $2,000 tariff dividend. Because of this, many people thought new checks were coming this month.
The IRS has now made it clear that this is not true. There are no new federal checks. There are no automatic payments. A fact check by KTVU also said that no new stimulus has been approved. Congress has not passed anything. The IRS has not confirmed anything.
Earlier this week, Trump spoke about tariffs and said he wants to give at least two thousand dollars to Americans. This would not include people with high incomes. He wrote on Truth Social that the country is collecting a lot of money from tariffs. He said the government will start paying down its huge debt. He also said that every person could get a dividend of at least two thousand dollars.
After this post, people on social media got excited and started guessing how and when this money would be given. Some viral posts added to the confusion. Many people also compared this to the COVID stimulus checks. A report even tried to estimate the cost and said the plan could cost around six hundred billion dollars every year.
But all of this is only talk right now. No payment has been approved. Nothing is official. News outlets have also warned people to be careful. Many fake messages are going around. Some scammers are sending emails and texts asking for bank details or Social Security numbers. The IRS does not send messages like that.
Anyone waiting for updates should only trust official websites. The safest places to check are IRS dot gov or the US Treasury website. To stay ready for any future payment, people should file their taxes and make sure their information is correct.
