LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- You've probably heard President Trump or Elon Musk mention something about a "DOGE dividend check" or a "DOGE stimulus check," so is there any truth to it?
Almost all of us remember how helpful the stimulus checks were, but it might not be the time to starting making big plans for your extra money yet.
This all started when President Trump and Elon Musk started talking about taking 20% of the DOGE savings and giving it back to taxpayers.
Some economists say that could be as much as $5,000 per family, if it happens.
Sure, most of us would like a little extra money in our pockets, but some people believe the stimulus checks were to blame for the spike in inflation the past few years.
Scammers are already cashing in too and sending out text messages and emails, trying to get personal information.
Don't reply to any texts or emails about possible checks: There are no new ones in the works right now.
