Rumors of a $1,702 stimulus payment in November 2025 are spreading fast online. But there’s no new federal stimulus check coming. The viral $1,702 figure actually refers to Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) — a state-only payout funded by oil revenues. In 2024, Alaskans received $1,702 each. The 2025 amount will differ and only go to eligible residents. No U.S. national program or IRS-approved payment exists. If you’re not in Alaska, you won’t get it. Always verify such claims — most viral posts are fake or scam traps.
