As part of the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) Program, everyone is now okay with getting a $3,200 aid check. The money for this license comes from the money made in 2024 from selling oil and minerals in Alaska.
The Alaska legislature has officially passed this stimulus check, which means that all eligible residents will get it. The PFD checks are set to be sent out on October 3rd of this year.
2024 PFD Distribution Schedule Stimulus Check
The $3,200 amount is a lot, but it’s important to remember that it’s less than the $5,500 amount that was first suggested. Still, this boost check helps Alaskans’ finances in a big way.
Right now, the 2023 stimulus check is being sent out in Alaska. This second round of aid will be given to everyone who applied on time and properly through the official website.
The Alaskan PFD website says, “The division will begin distributing the 2024 PFD applications in two disbursements.” The first payment will be sent out on October 3, 2024, to qualified applicants who filled out their application online and chose direct deposit as their payment method.
Eligibility Criteria for the Stimulus Check
To qualify for receiving this stimulus, it is necessary to meet certain criteria set by the Alaska tax office. These include:
- Demonstrating a permanent residence in the state.
- Having lived in Alaska for the entire last calendar year.
- Not having a criminal record.
Residents can make sure they can get the much-needed cash help by meeting these requirements. Always look at the official sources and rules that the state of Alaska gives you for more specific information. Keep up with the news and make sure you meet all the requirements to get your stimulus check.
How can residents track the status of their PFD application and check payment?
Here are the most important things Alaskans can do to check on the progress of their Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) application and check payment:
Through the myAlaska website and the myPFD system, residents can see where their PFD application and payment stand. Users can enter their information and get updates on their app this way.
If people would rather check in person, the PFD offices are open to the public on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Wednesday and Thursday are days when the offices are closed.
Important dates:
- June 20, 2024: Expected payment date for applications filed by June 12
- July 18, 2024: Expected payment date for applications filed by July 10
- August 7, 2024: Deadline to apply for the 2024 PFD
- August 15, 2024: Final Eligible-Not Paid payments to be distributed
For repair, the myPFD online service will not be available from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on July 24, 2024. The PFD office is also closed that day.
People in Alaska should know that the PFD program will never text or email you to ask you to change your password. This is a popular trick used in phishing scams. Use the official myAlaska page at all times.
