$1312 Payment stimulus check: Residents of Alaska are eligible for a stimulus check as part of the state’s Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) program, which is funded by investment earnings from mineral royalties. The Alaska Permanent Fund, created in 1976, manages the state’s oil revenues, and the annual PFD distribution provides a significant financial benefit to eligible residents.
In 2023, qualifying Alaskans received a payment of $1,312, and payments are typically made through direct deposit or checks. Most residents opt for direct deposit for faster delivery, as checks can take longer due to mail delivery times.

To apply for the PFD, individuals must complete an annual application. If they received direct deposit the previous year and wish to continue using the same bank account, they can select the option “same account as last year” during the application process. For updates to direct deposit information, changes were accepted until August 31 for the mass payment, but updates can still be made up to a week before any future monthly disbursement dates.
Residents who have not yet received their 2023 PFD check and believe they are eligible should contact the Department of Revenue to confirm their payment status and ensure there are no issues with their application.
In order to benefit present and future generations, the yearly payment enables Alaskans to receive a dividend from the state’s resource profits. The Alaska Legislature establishes eligibility for a Permanent Fund Dividend through statutes and regulations.

“The dividend calculation is based on the number of eligible Alaska applicants in a dividend year and half of the statutory net income averaged over the five most recent fiscal years. Available funds are also reduced by prior year’s dividend obligations, PFD operating expenses and other state agency program allocations. The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation is responsible for investing the principal balance of the fund,” said a statement from Alaska’s PFD.
