$1,702 Stimulus Payment For Everyone – Check June 2025 Full Payment Schedule

The state of Alaska continues to support its residents through the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) program—a benefit that draws from the state’s natural resource revenues. In 2025, a $1,702 stimulus payment is set to be distributed to eligible residents under this initiative. This guide covers everything from eligibility to payment schedules, application steps, and tax implications

What Is the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD)?

The Alaska Permanent Fund, created in 1976, was established to save a portion of the state’s oil revenue for future generations. Managed by the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC), it invests in various asset classes like stocks, real estate, and bonds. Each year, around 5% of the earnings are distributed as the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) to residents who meet the program’s requirements.

The 2025 payout includes:

• Regular Dividend: $1,403.83
• Energy Relief Bonus: $298.17 (approved by the legislature to help with energy costs)

This brings the total PFD amount to $1,702 for each eligible resident.
