Alaskans have until August 7 to apply for their final $1,312 Permanent Fund Dividend payment of the year.
Deadline to Apply for Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend Payment Approaches
Alaskans are set to receive a $1,312 payment from the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) this August. This is the last payment of the year. The Permanent Fund created in 1976 invests money from the state’s oil revenues and shares the earnings with eligible residents. This payment can provide important financial help and boost the local economy.
To get this payment, Alaskans must have lived in the state for the whole previous year and plan to stay in Alaska. The deadline to apply is August 7. Residents should check their application status on the myPFD portal on the Department of Revenue’s website. The next payment will be made on August 15 for those who are still listed as Eligible-Not Paid, according to the report of Marca.

Avoid Phishing Scams and Stay Safe
The Department of Revenue is also warning about scams related to the PFD payments. Residents should be careful of phishing attempts, as MyAlaska will never ask for password changes via text or email. It is important to report any suspicious activity to avoid fraud and ensure that everyone who is eligible gets their payment.
