Who Qualifies for the $1,700 Alaska Stimulus Check?
To be eligible for the 2025 Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), residents must meet four essential requirements:
✅ 1. You Must Have Lived in Alaska for the Entire Year of 2024
To qualify, you must have resided in Alaska for the full calendar year. Temporary absences of up to 180 days are permitted only for exceptional cases, such as medical treatments, education, or military service.
✅ 2. You Cannot Claim Residency in Another State
While temporary travel outside Alaska is allowed, you must not have established residency in any other state in 2024. If you officially relocated elsewhere, you are ineligible for the payment.
✅ 3. You Must Have Spent at Least 72 Consecutive Hours in Alaska
Even if you left the state for an extended period, you must have spent at least 72 uninterrupted hours in Alaska during the previous year to maintain your eligibility.
✅ 4. You Must Have a Clean Criminal Record
Applicants with serious criminal convictions after January 1, 1997, may be disqualified from receiving the PFD stimulus check. Those with certain misdemeanor offenses could also face restrictions.
