Alaska residents are set to receive a much-needed financial boost this June. On June 18, 2025, eligible Alaskans will receive a $1,702 payment through the state’s Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD)—a significant 30% increase from last year.
What’s in the $1,702 PFD Payment?
This year’s payout includes two parts:
- Regular PFD: $1,403.83
- Energy Relief Rebate: $298.17
The Energy Relief Rebate addresses rising energy costs across Alaska, while the regular PFD reflects residents’ shared stake in the state’s oil and gas revenues.
Key Deposit Date: June 18, 2025
If your PFD application is marked “Eligible-Not Paid” by June 11, you can expect your payment via direct deposit on June 18.
Who’s Eligible for the 2025 Alaska PFD?
To qualify, you must meet all of the following:
- Alaska residency for the entire 2024 calendar year
- Intent to remain a permanent resident of Alaska
- Physically present in Alaska for at least 72 hours in the last 24 months
- No felony convictions in 2024 or multiple misdemeanors since 1997
The application window for the 2025 PFD was January 1 – March 31, 2025, with paper submissions accepted through April 1.
Why This Payment Matters
This isn’t just a yearly bonus—it’s a lifeline. With inflation and energy costs surging, especially in remote communities, the extra $298.17 rebate makes a real difference. On a broader scale, the PFD payment helps stimulate local economies, boost household spending, and support Alaskans’ financial resilience.
