When are the PFD stimulus program payment dates?
Payment dates in 2025 are tied to the “Eligible-Not Paid” status. If this status was maintained as of March 12, 2025, payment is due on March 20. For those who maintained this status as of April 9, payment is due on April 17. If the status was maintained as of May 7, payment is due on May 15.
Subsequent payments are scheduled for June 18, July 17, and August 21, 2025. These payments cover applications from prior years that remained in “Eligible-Not Paid” status. References include the-sun.com and inclusiveapprenticeship.org.
Who qualifies for PFD payment?
To qualify for the 2025 PFD, which corresponds to the 2024 tax year and is paid in 2025, all requirements must be met. The applicant must have been a resident of Alaska for the entire 2024 calendar year. They must express their intent to remain in the state indefinitely at the time of application.
Additionally, you cannot have claimed residency in another state or country since December 31, 2023. This excludes those convicted or incarcerated for a felony during 2024, or for certain crimes with prior convictions. The physical presence requirement is at least 72 consecutive hours in 2023 or 2024.
Absences of more than 180 days in 2024 are not permitted, with specific exceptions. These exceptions include military service, medical studies, or documented health treatments. No other excuses are accepted beyond these predefined cases.
The application period for the 2025 PFD generally runs from January 1 to March 31, 2025. Some sources list March 30 or 31 as the deadline. Applications are submitted exclusively online through myPFD or myAlaska at pfd.alaska.gov.
Applicants can choose between direct deposit or physical check to receive their payment. Each person must apply individually, including children in legal custody. Applications submitted by the deadline and deemed eligible are automatically included in the phased payments.
There is no post-correction window for applications, so applications submitted with errors cannot be replaced with corrected versions. Late applications, submitted after the official deadline, are not accepted under any circumstances. This policy is documented on pfd.alaska.gov and other cited government sources, so this information is reliable.
