No, You Won’t Get a Surprise $2,000 Stimulus Check in Late 2025 – Experts Debunk Viral Rumors

Viral Rumors vs. Reality In September 2025, a flurry of social-media posts claimed that American taxpayers were about to receive another round of cash payments – sometimes called a “fourth stimulus check”.
