Government-issued checks historically (e.g., pandemic-era stimulus payments) required formal legislation and clear IRS guidelines — none of which exist yet for the proposed $2,000 checks.

💡 What you should take away
The claim that Trump “revealed the exact date” for $2,000 checks is misleading: he only gave a broad timeframe (mid-2026), not a precise date.
The $2,000 “tariff dividend” remains a policy proposal, not a concrete plan.
No checks are going out at present — and there’s no guarantee they ever will.
If you see social-media posts or messages claiming to offer early access or requiring personal info to “sign up,” treat them with extreme caution. Scams and misinformation are already circulating.
