The 2025 Alaska PFD Stimulus Checks, also known as the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), are annual payments to eligible residents. These funds are derived from oil revenues and investments in the Alaska Permanent Fund. Official sources provide information on dates, amounts, and requirements, which are detailed below.
The total amount approved for 2024 and payable in 2025 is $1,702 per person. This amount includes the regular dividend of $1,403.83 and an additional energy relief payment of $298.17. Sources include en.wikipedia.org and other cited websites.
When are the PFD stimulus program payments due?
Payment dates in 2025 are based on the “Eligible-Not Paid” status. If this status was maintained as of March 12, 2025, payment is due March 20. Payment is due on April 17 to those who were in this status as of April 9. If the status was maintained as of May 7, payment is due by May 15.
Subsequent payments are set for June 18, July 17, and August 21, 2025. These payments cover applications from previous years that remained in the “Eligible-Not Paid” status. References include the-sun.com and inclusiveapprenticeship.org.
Who qualifies for PFD payments?
To be eligible for the 2025 PFD, which corresponds to the 2024 tax year and is payable in 2025, all requirements must be fulfilled. The applicant must have been a resident of Alaska throughout the calendar year 2024. They must express their intention to stay in the state indefinitely at the time of application.
Furthermore, you cannot have claimed residency in another state or country after December 31, 2023. This excludes those who are convicted or incarcerated for a felony in 2024, as well as those who have previously been convicted of certain crimes. In 2023 or 2024, physical presence is required for a minimum of 72 consecutive hours.
Absences of more than 180 days in 2024 are not permitted, with certain exceptions. Exceptions include military service, medical studies, and documented health treatments. Aside from these predefined cases, no other excuses will be accepted.
The application period for the 2025 PFD typically runs from January 1 to March 31, 2025. Some sources specify March 30 or 31 as the deadline. Applications are only accepted online through myPFD or myAlaska at pfd.alaska.gov.
Applicants can receive their payment via direct deposit or a physical check. Everyone, including children in legal custody, must apply individually. Applications received by the deadline and deemed eligible are automatically included in the phased payments.
There is no post-correction window for applications, so incorrectly submitted applications cannot be replaced with corrected versions. Late applications submitted after the official deadline will not be accepted under any circumstances. This policy is documented on pfd.alaska.gov and other government sources, so the information is accurate.
