Pleasant Grove (75217) – In a major relief effort amid persistent economic struggles, the U.S. Treasury and IRS have greenlit a $1,338 stimulus payout for eligible Americans, starting August 15, 2025. The financial assistance, part of the Federal Relief Reinvestment Act (FRRA) 2025, targets low- and middle-income families across the country—with Dallas, Texas, expected to see one of the highest recipient volumes due to rising living costs.

The IRS has confirmed that direct deposits will roll out in phases, prioritizing those who filed their 2024 taxes early and listed valid banking information. Eligible groups include Social Security recipients, veterans, gig workers, and non-filers who register through the IRS Non-Filer Portal, reopening July 25.
