Thousands of Wisconsin residents may soon receive a $2,750 direct payment as part of a targeted stimulus effort in partnership with the IRS. Funded by federal relief reserves and state surplus funds, these payments are intended to support low- and middle-income households struggling with the rising cost of living. With deposits rolling out through May 2025, residents are urged to check if they meet the eligibility requirements before the final batch goes out.
Who Qualifies for the $2,750 Payment?
The $2,750 stimulus is being directed toward Wisconsin residents who filed a 2023 tax return and earned under $80,000 individually or $160,000 jointly. Priority groups include seniors, families with dependents, people receiving SNAP or Medicaid, and those with disabilities. Residents who received prior stimulus rounds or qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) are also likely to be included. Those who haven’t filed taxes yet still have a small window to qualify before the program ends.
When Will Payments Be Issued?
Wisconsin began issuing payments on May 10, 2025, and they will continue throughout the month in staggered waves. Direct deposits are going out first, followed by paper checks in late May or early June. Residents who provided updated banking info with their 2023 tax filings will receive their money faster. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue recommends checking the state’s online payment tracker to confirm your status and prevent missing the disbursement window.
How to Check Eligibility and Get Paid
To see if you’re eligible for the $2,750 payment, log in to your IRS online account or visit the Wisconsin Department of Revenue website. You’ll need your tax return info, Social Security number, and current mailing address. If you haven’t filed for 2023, do so by June 15, 2025, to be included in the final payment round. Those who didn’t receive previous stimulus checks may have to submit an additional verification form available on the state portal.
