$1,390 Stimulus Checks 2025: Big news for millions of Americans, a new $1,390 stimulus payment should reach accounts before the year is over. The payment intends to assist senior citizens, disability beneficiaries, and low-income households in offsetting the surging prices in the cost of living. Once approved, the stimulus will be deposited automatically into the bank accounts of most eligible recipients.

Those who will receive the stimulus include:
- Social Security retirees and, in general, those under SSDI.
- SSI recipients, including low-income seniors and low-income people with disabilities.
- Low-income households as determined by federal income level.
One must be either a U.S. citizen or a legal resident to qualify.
When Will You Get Paid?
If all goes as planned, payments may begin as early as October 2025. Here is the expected rollout:
- Direct deposit-first wave of payments, quickest method
- Paper checks or debit cards-may take a few more days to arrive
No further application will be needed for most people who already receive Social Security or SSI.
How To Make Sure You Don’t Miss It
Should you want your stimulus on time:
