Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) for 2025 has been set at $1,702 per eligible resident, an increase from last year’s $1,312.
This payment, funded by the state’s oil and gas revenue, will benefit over 600,000 Alaskans.
Who Qualifies for the $1,702 Payment?
To be eligible, you must:
- Be a registered Alaska resident
- Have lived in Alaska continuously for at least 12 months
- Plan to remain in the state permanently
- Have spent at least 72 hours in Alaska in the last two years
- Have no felony convictions in the past year and limited misdemeanors

Why the Increase?
The Alaska Legislature approved the $1,702 payout under the 75-25 formula, which allocates most fund earnings to state services.
While Governor Dunleavy proposed a $3,500 payment, lawmakers settled on this amount due to budget constraints.
The final total saw a $300 boost from unexpected oil revenue gains.
What’s Next?
The first payments have already been distributed in early 2025.
