While there are no new federal stimulus payments scheduled for 2025, several states are stepping up with their own relief programs. In May, thousands of residents will receive new $600 stimulus checks to help offset the rising cost of living.

Here’s who qualifies and when payments are expected.

Which States Are Sending Stimulus Checks in May?

Therefore, if you live in either state and meet eligibility requirements, you could see a welcome boost to your bank account very soon.

Who Is Eligible for These Payments?

How to Check Your Payment Status

Most payments will be sent automatically, but in rare cases, updated address or bank information may delay delivery.

Will Other States Offer Stimulus Payments?

Meanwhile, the federal government has no plans for another national stimulus check in 2025.
