Alaska residents are receiving a welcome financial boost in June 2025, thanks to the $1,702 stimulus payment provided through the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD).
This payment, funded by the state’s oil and gas revenues, is part of Alaska’s effort to support its residents amid rising living and energy costs.
Below is a detailed breakdown of this year’s payment, eligibility requirements, and when residents can expect the deposit.
What Is the $1,702 Alaska Stimulus Payment?
The Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) is an annual payment distributed to eligible Alaskans. In 2025, the total payment is $1,702 per resident, reflecting a 30% increase from the previous year’s amount.
The increase aims to provide relief against high energy costs and stimulate local economic growth.
The $1,702 total consists of two parts:
- Regular PFD amount: $1,403.83
- Energy Relief Rebate: $298.17
This dual structure ensures both continued support and extra relief targeted at energy cost burdens.
When Is the June 2025 Stimulus Payment Being Deposited?
According to the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Division, deposits for eligible residents will be made on:
- June 18, 2025 — for applications that are marked as “Eligible-Not Paid” by June 11, 2025
This means if your 2024 or prior-year application meets the eligibility requirements and is in good standing by June 11, you will receive the deposit by June 18.
