If you’re a single parent, this message is for you. On July 21, 2025, the IRS will deliver $1,312 stimulus payments to more than a million Americans—especially single moms and dads who often do the heavy lifting alone. This money isn’t just a check—it’s a sigh of relief. It’s filling empty pantries, warming underpaid hearts, and offering a pause in the daily struggle of parenthood.
What Is This $1,312 Stimulus Check?
This payment comes from the IRS’s Recovery Rebate Credit, part of the third COVID stimulus plan. It targets families who didn’t get the full amount before. With tax records reviewed, this final batch ensures eligible single parents—the ones juggling jobs, schools, and bills—get what they deserve. Many missed earlier deadlines or had complicated filings; now, it all centers on July 21.
Why Single Parents Matter in This Round
Single parents often face unique financial challenges—one income, extra responsibilities, and no second paycheck if something breaks. The IRS chose to include them in this latest batch because they account for so many of the 1 million Americans still eligible for relief. This money offers dignity and a lifeline, especially when every dollar counts.
Who Qualifies for the $1,312 Payment?
You’re part of this group if, in 2021, you:
- Filed a federal return but didn’t claim the full stimulus
- Fell under income limits—up to $75k as a single filer—or head-of-household with lower earnings
- Have qualifying dependents and valid Social Security numbers
Even if your bank info changed or your return took time, July 21 is the day you get recognized.
How the Money Will Reach You
- Automatic deposit to the bank account on your latest tax filing (2023 returns set the path).
- If there’s no valid account, expect a paper check or debit card in the mail.
- The IRS encourages checking its “Get My Payment” tool mid-July to see the status.
No stress, no forms—just a deposit or letter letting you know it’s yours.
What You Can Do Now
- Log in to the IRS Get My Payment tool as July 21 approaches.
- Confirm your bank or mailing info is current.
- Mark your calendar—watch your account or mailbox in the days after 21.
