Alaska’s $1,702 PFD Payment: When It Arrives and Who Can Get It?

Alaska’s $1,702 PFD Payment: People in Alaska are getting ready to see some extra money coming into their pockets soon. This is because the state will soon send out the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, also called the PFD. It’s a special program that’s been around since the 1980s. The state takes some of the money it earns from oil and gives it straight to the people who live there.

Officials say about 600,000 people in Alaska can get this payment, but it’s not for everyone. To get it, you have to follow some pretty strict rules. You must live in Alaska for the whole year of 2024 and you need to plan to keep living there forever. If you say you live in another state or another country during 2024, you can’t get it. Also, if you have been in prison or got in trouble for certain crimes, you won’t qualify.

When the Money Arrives?
