It’s the rumor that just won’t quit—another big federal check is supposedly on the way.

Online posts and emails are buzzing with talk of a new $800 stimulus payment arriving this April.

But is it really happening? Or are Americans being distracted from benefits they could be claiming right now?

Let’s clear the air—and spotlight the real help you can get this spring.

There is currently no federal stimulus program offering a new $800 payment.

Despite what rumors may suggest, the federal government has not approved another round of checks.

While many are understandably hoping for extra relief amid rising costs, there’s no national payout scheduled.

That said, some states are stepping in with meaningful benefits of their own.

If you live in Colorado, you could be eligible for a significant rebate under the state’s TABOR refund.

TABOR—short for Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights—requires Colorado to refund excess revenue when the state budget exceeds limits.

Officials expect around $1.4 million in surplus to be distributed in spring 2025.

For those who qualify, joint filers could receive up to $1,600.

And that’s just one part of what Colorado residents can access.

Along with the TABOR refund, eligible residents may benefit from:

The Democrats in Denver are tryng to do away with TABOR so they can keep the excess money. They attach fees to everything now in lieu of calling them taxes so they can still screw us out of our money. Gob Poleass is a evil wicked pedophile.
