Alaska residents have until June 30, 2025, to apply for the state’s annual Permanent Fund Dividend. This year’s payment is $1,312 per eligible person. The application window has been open since January, but time is running out to secure the 2025 dividend.
Who qualifies for the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend?
To receive this year’s Permanent Fund Dividend, you must meet specific eligibility requirements. You must:
- Be a resident of Alaska for the entire calendar year 2024
- Plan to remain an Alaska resident indefinitely
- Not claim residency in another state or country
- Avoid disqualifying criminal convictions or incarceration
Additionally, applicants must have been physically present in Alaska for at least 72 consecutive hours during 2024, unless they qualify for an approved absence under state rules.
How to apply before the June 30 deadline
You can complete the application online in just a few minutes. The Alaska Department of Revenue recommends using the digital portal for faster processing:
- Online application portal: myPFD.alaska.gov
- Paper applications: Accepted, but may experience delays
- Final deadline: June 30, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Alaska time
Before applying, make sure your address, residency status, and direct deposit details are accurate to avoid issues with eligibility or payment delivery.
When will the Permanent Fund Dividend payment arrive?
Payments typically go out in early October, according to the Alaska Department of Revenue. Applicants who submit on time and meet all requirements should expect their deposits during that period.
For those who filed earlier in the year and already received approval, the state will announce exact payment dates in September.
What happens if you miss the deadline?
Failing to apply by June 30 means you will not receive the 2025 Permanent Fund Dividend. The program does not allow late submissions. Even if you were eligible, missing the deadline disqualifies you for this year’s payment.
To avoid missing out, submit your application as soon as possible—even if you are still verifying residency or planning a qualifying absence.
