Who’s Getting $1,702 This June? Find Out If You Qualify Now!

If you live in Alaska, you might be getting a nice surprise this June — a payment of $1,702. This isn’t just a random check; it’s part of Alaska’s yearly Permanent Fund Dividend, which shares some of the state’s oil profits with residents. This year, there’s a little extra on top to help with those expensive energy bills everyone’s been talking about.

Let’s break down what this means and who gets it, so you’re not left wondering if you qualify or when the money will show up.

What’s This Payment About?

Every year, Alaska puts some of its oil earnings back into the pockets of people who live there. In 2025, the payment will be $1,702. That’s made up of:

• $1,403.83 — the usual annual dividend.

• $298.17 — a bonus to help with higher electricity and heating costs.

So, it’s a bit of a boost to help with rising bills, which is great news if you’re feeling the pinch.

Who Gets This Payment?

To get this money, you have to meet a few rules:

• You needed to live in Alaska all through 2024.

• You’re planning to stick around in Alaska for the foreseeable future.

• You didn’t say you lived anywhere else at the end of 2023.

• You didn’t get convicted of a felony or spend time in jail for serious crimes in 2024.

• You physically spent at least three days straight in Alaska during 2023 or 2024.

• You didn’t spend more than 180 days away from Alaska last year — unless it was for something like school or military service.

Everyone in your household, including kids, needs to apply separately to get their own payment.

When Will You Get the Money?

If you applied on time (between January 1 and March 31, 2025) and your status is “Eligible-Not Paid” by June 11, you can expect your payment on June 18, 2025.

If you get approved later, don’t worry — there are payment dates in July and August too.

How Do You Check if It’s Coming?

Just head over to pfd.alaska.gov, log in with your myAlaska account, and look under “Payment Information” to see what’s up.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

• This payment counts as taxable income, so remember to include it when you file your 2025 taxes.

• You’ll get your payment either through direct deposit or a paper check, depending on what you picked when you applied.

• Make sure your bank details are right so there aren’t any delays.

• If you have questions or need help, you can call or email the PFD folks — they’re there to help.

This $1,702 payment is a nice little boost for Alaskans to help with rising costs, especially energy bills. If you applied on time and meet the rules, watch for your deposit mid-June.

And if you missed the application window, don’t stress — just keep an eye out next year. Need help checking your status or have other questions? Just ask!
