Thousands of Alaskans begin receiving $1,000 2025 PFD stimulus payments as final major distribution wave rolls out

Alaska is distributing its final major round of $1,000 Permanent Fund Dividend payments today, a reduction from previous years due to volatile oil revenues and a focus on long-term fund sustainability. Eligible residents meeting continuous residency requirements throughout 2024 are receiving these funds, with direct deposit being the recommended payment method.
