The federal government is not releasing another round of stimulus money, the Internal Revenue Service confirmed. The IRS issued three rounds of such payments during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. The last one went out nationwide nearly two years ago.

The last stimulus check went out nearly two years ago and there has not been another stimulus-related check to residents since.
