The Georgia stimulus check for 2025 is part of a special surplus tax refund program approved by Governor Brian Kemp. Eligible taxpayers who filed their 2023 and 2024 state income tax returns by the deadlines can receive a one-time rebate ranging from $250 to $500, depending on filing status. Payments began being issued starting in early June 2025, with the majority expected to be distributed by July 1, 2025. The refunds are processed about 6-8 weeks after tax filing, and taxpayers can check their eligibility and payment status through the Georgia Department of Revenue website. Details of payment amounts by filing status:
- $250 for single filers and married filing separately,
- $375 for head of household,
- $500 for married filing jointly.
This is the third consecutive year Georgia has issued such surplus tax refunds due to budget surpluses and conservative state budgeting.
Thus, if one filed taxes timely for 2023 and 2024, stimulus checks (tax rebates) are already being disbursed since June 2025 with most payments completed by early July 2025. Eligibility and payment status can be verified online via the Georgia Tax Center.
