If you meet this single requirement, you qualify for Trump’s $2,000 tariff dividends

However, no official program, eligibility criteria, deadline, or legislative plan has been finalized or implemented. What sounds like a guaranteed payout is still just a proposal. (politifact.com)

So What’s the “Single Requirement”?

Some viral messages claim the payout will be automatic if you meet a single requirement — often implying you must click a link, sign up with a third‑party service, or complete some online action. This is false. (WRAL News)

Fact‑checking organizations have found that such messages are scams or misleading ads designed to collect personal information or sell unrelated services. The federal government and IRS do not require people to click external links or register with private companies to receive dividend payments. (WRAL News)

Is There Any Eligibility Rule So Far?

At this point, the only thing Trump has publicly mentioned is that high‑income earners would be excluded — without specifying any exact income cutoff. There is no formal eligibility list yet. (The Economic Times)

Experts say that if a real dividend were ever approved, qualifications would likely resemble past stimulus checks, which relied on tax filing data and adjusted gross income thresholds. But nothing official has been announced. (politifact.com)

Will You Have to Apply?

According to government tradition and how past stimulus programs worked:

• Most payments are automatic for taxpayers if the IRS already has your bank and tax filing information.
• There is no precedent for redirecting people to a third‑party site to “claim” a payment. (WRAL News)

So the idea that you must satisfy a single requirement like clicking a button or entering info on another site is likely a scam tactic.

What’s the Real Status of the Dividend

Here’s the key point:

• Trump has not yet issued any $2,000 tariff dividend payments.
