The major plans for the American economy in 2025, according to Donald Trump, included modification of taxes, social security, and food stamps; that is, the stimuli check, which was a support measure during the Covid-19 pandemic, is not included at the moment; however, it cannot be ruled out as During his campaign, he mentioned increasing stimulus if he gets back to power in the state.
Nearly 165 million Americans sought out some kind of stimulus from April 2020 to December 2021 to make up for the COVID-19 negative effects, indicating how far it could be stretched in case of an economic crisis.
The first and the second rounds were the additional subsidies for the fiscal year 2020 provided in 2020 and January–June 2021. The third round of ECIA, including additional amounts, were IRS-issued advance payments of the FFCRA Recovery Rebate Credit for 2021.
All first, second, and third economic impact payments have been disbursed by the IRS. This means that you can no longer check the status of your payment through the Get My Payment application,” the IRS stated.
However, most of the eligible beneficiaries have already received this support, though, according to IRS standards, taxpayers have up to three years to file their returns and claim refunds.
As for the Recovery Rebate Credit, which was established for individuals who never received their Economic Impact Payment, for the 2020 return, it was till May 17, 2024, but the 2021 RRC can be filed till April 15, 2025, so for now only the outstanding payments are confirmed for the next year, waiting for new changes when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Public Sentiment And Speculation
Despite the lack of concrete plans for additional stimulus checks, social media speculation has fueled public interest in potential payouts. Viral posts have claimed that Americans could receive substantial payments as holiday relief; however, these claims have been debunked by credible sources. The IRS has clarified that all previous Economic Impact Payments have been issued and that no new payments are scheduled
While Trump’s past support for stimulus payments during times of crisis has led some to hope for similar actions in the future, his current focus appears to be on long-term economic strategies rather than immediate financial relief. If economic conditions were to deteriorate significantly before or during his term, discussions around new stimulus measures could resurface; however, as it stands now, such scenarios remain speculative.
