It is still possible for Alaskans to receive over $1000 from the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) program if they meet the eligibility requirements.
The Alaska Department of Revenue is responsible for overseeing payments for the program, which started in October 2023 and is still ongoing today.
The next payment to eligible citizens who fall into the category of “Eligible-Not Paid” is scheduled to be made on Thursday, July 18.
The maximum qualified receivers of the fund stand to receive a total of $1312. To apply, one must submit an application by March 31 of the year in question to start the application process. Any information that needs to be updated or changed can then be viewed on the PFD Alaska website’s myPFD page.
The PFD explicitly advises against trying to con them for additional money as well, and those who try will face swift consequences, as Otaota Mokoma found out when she was charged with 24 counts of fabricating records between 2018 and 2021.
After being discovered, 35-year-old Mokoma was charged with felonies for having received $25,000 in funds that she had no right to claim.
Watch out for scammers
Since there is money at stake, it is vital to make sure that no personal information is sent via text or email. Scammers, fraudsters, and con artists will stop at nothing to obtain personal information from users and keep the money for themselves.

Specifically, it states on the PFD website that “myAlaska DOES NOT send text messages or emails to users requesting that they change their passwords.”
Should an individual still feel uneasy sharing information via phone or mobile, they can ask any more questions at the PFD offices, which are available Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 16:00.
“Our mission is to administer the permanent fund dividend program,” Division Director, Genevieve Wojtusik stated. “Assuring that all eligible Alaskans receive timely dividends, fraud is prosecuted, and all internal and external stakeholders are treated with respect.”
