As 2024 draws to a close, Alaskans are gearing up for the 2025 Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) application process. With important dates and requirements outlined, it’s crucial to stay informed to ensure eligibility and timely payment.

Temporary Unavailability and Key Opening Dates

The PFD Division will suspend public interactions from December 23 to December 31, 2024. During this time, the division will focus on processing undetermined eligibility applications. However, applicants can still submit requested documents via mail, email, or fax. The 2025 PFD application period begins on January 1, 2025, with applications available online at 9:00 a.m. through the PFD website. Though January 1 is a state holiday, the PFD office will reopen for public inquiries starting January 2, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.

How to Claim Your PFD Dividend

For 2025, the PFD dividend amount is set at $1,702. To ensure you receive the payment, follow these steps:

1. Check Your Application Status: Log in to “myPFD” to verify the status of your application. Ensure that all information, especially your address, is current and accurate.
2. Update Your Address: If you electronically signed your PFD application, you can update your address online via “myPFD.” Alternatively, you can submit a Change of Address Form to one of the PFD offices.
3. Meet Eligibility Requirements: Double-check that you have met all requirements for eligibility to avoid delays or denials.
