Alaska $1,702 PFD September: The Permanent Fund Dividend, or PFD, is a special money gift that Alaska gives to its residents every year. It started in 1982 so that people in the state could share in the wealth from Alaska’s oil and minerals.

The money comes from a big investment fund that grows from profits made from energy and mining royalties. Each year, the state looks at the profits from the last five years, removes costs and obligations, and decides the amount for each person. For 2025, every person gets $1,702. This money helps families pay bills, buy food, and save a little too.
