As of June 2025, there is no new federal stimulus check worth $1,700 for all Americans. However, several state-level payments, unclaimed federal tax credits, and local assistance programs could combine to offer eligible residents financial support totaling $1,700 or more.
This guide breaks down exactly where this money is coming from, who qualifies, payment schedules, and how to claim your share. If you live in Alaska, California, or missed out on a previous IRS stimulus check, you may be entitled to a significant payment this summer.
