In an attempt to provide financial relief due to inflation and economic disparities, US citizens are likely to receive significant direct payments and rebates in various states in November 2025. But these disbursements are not federal stimulus checks but rather state programs that seek to return money to taxpayers through inflation rebates, permanent fund dividend distributions. One such example is Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD). In general cases, recipients do not generally need a specific action as most payments are automatically sent to those who meet the income or tax filing requirements.
