$800 Checks Are Hitting Bank Accounts in June — But Only in These States!

If you’ve seen headlines or posts talking about a new $800 stimulus check this June, you’re probably thinking, “Wait, is that really happening?” The short answer: not exactly. But there is some truth behind the talk — and if you live in the right state, you might still get a nice payment.

Let’s walk through what’s real, what’s not, and what you can actually expect in your bank account this month.

Is the Federal Government Sending Out a New $800 Stimulus?

Nope. There’s no new nationwide stimulus check approved for June 2025. The big federal payments from the pandemic are done — unless you never got yours. In that case, there’s still a way to claim that money (we’ll explain how in a minute).

So, if it’s not coming from Washington, where’s this $800 number coming from?

The Real Story: Some States Are Sending Out Payments

A few states are giving people extra cash right now — and some of those payments happen to be around $800. That’s what’s causing all the buzz.

Let’s take a look at where that’s happening:

Colorado – TABOR Refund

Colorado has a law that says if the state collects too much in taxes, it has to give some back to the people. That’s called TABOR, and it’s kicking in again this year.

How much? $800 for individuals, $1,600 for couples
Who gets it? Anyone who filed a Colorado tax return for 2023 by April 15
When? Payments are being sent out during June 2025

Pennsylvania – Property Tax & Rent Rebates

This one’s aimed at seniors and people with disabilities who’ve been paying rent or property taxes.

How much? Up to $800
Who qualifies? You need to meet income limits and be either 65+, disabled, or a widow/widower
When? Payments are going out now and throughout the summer

California – Guaranteed Income Programs

Some cities in California (like Sacramento) are testing something called “guaranteed income,” where low-income families get monthly payments for a year or more.

How much? Around $700–800 a month
Who gets it? Low-income families with kids, living in the right city
When? Monthly payments are already going out, including this June

What About the Rest of Us?

A few other states — like Georgia, Illinois, and New Mexico — are offering smaller rebates or one-time payments, usually around $250 to $500. Not quite $800, but still something. These are often tied to filing your state taxes on time or meeting certain income limits.

Can I Still Get Any Federal Stimulus Money?

If you missed the third stimulus check back in 2021 (the one for up to $1,400), there’s a chance you can still claim it. You’d need to file — or amend — your 2021 federal tax return and request the Recovery Rebate Credit. It’s not fast money, but if you never got what you were owed, it’s definitely worth checking out.

How Do I Know If I Qualify for Anything?

Here’s what you can do right now:

Go to your state’s official tax or benefit website (don’t trust random posts or sketchy links).
Look for terms like “tax rebate,” “relief payment,” or “property tax refund.”
Check if you filed your 2023 state taxes (that’s usually required).
See if you meet any income or age guidelines.

Not every program is automatic — some states require you to apply, and deadlines matter.

Here’s What’s Real

Let’s wrap this up simply:

There is no federal $800 stimulus check coming in June.
But Colorado, Pennsylvania, and California are sending out payments that are about $800 — and they’re happening now.
These are state-level programs, not national ones.
If you think you missed an earlier federal payment, you may still be able to claim back money from 2021.
Always check your state’s official site for real info. Never give personal details to unofficial sources.

A lot of people are struggling right now. Groceries are expensive, rents keep going up, and a single check — even $800 — can make a real difference. So if you’re eligible for any of this, make sure you don’t miss it.

If you want help checking eligibility or need a direct link to your state’s program, just tell me where you live. I’ve got your back.
