Roughly 600,000 residents stand to collect a Permanent Fund Dividend that is 30 percent higher than last year.
Alaska’s 43‑year‑old Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) is about to drop another round of cash. If your online status shows “Eligible‑Not Paid,” a $1,702 transfer—$1,403 in regular earnings plus a $298 energy‑relief bonus—could hit your bank account in a matter of weeks. Curious whether you’ll make the cut? Read on.
Who qualifies for the 2024 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend payout this summer

Confirmed July and August 2025 payment dates for two eligible resident groups
The Department of Revenue releases funds once a week‑long review confirms eligibility. Here is the official schedule:
| Resident group (status cutoff) | Direct‑deposit date |
|---|---|
| Group 2 — “Eligible‑Not Paid” status by July 9, 2025 | July 17, 2025 |
| Group 3 — “Eligible‑Not Paid” status by August 13, 2025 | August 21, 2025 |
Payments typically appear in checking accounts by midday on the listed date. Paper checks, when requested, arrive a few days later. Still seeing that nagging “Eligible‑Not Paid” label after the cutoff? Double‑check that any identity or address verifications the state requested are complete.
What to do if your status still reads “Eligible‑Not Paid” after the deadline passes
First, don’t panic—unresolved cases roll into the next monthly batch. Log in to myPFD to verify your mailing address and banking details, then upload any missing documents. Need help? Call the dividend hotline or pop into a regional PFD office; staff can usually clear minor glitches in a single visit.
This year’s $1,702 dividend offers timely breathing room as utility and grocery costs climb. Make sure your application is spotless, monitor your status, and mark those July 17 and August 21 deposit dates on the calendar. Got neighbors still on the fence? Remind them that the next chance to apply won’t open until January.
