$1,702 Stimulus Payment 2025 : Alaskans will be welcomed with some extra cash in August 2025, as the state gives out $1,702 in Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) payments. Such payments, drawn from Alaska’s oil revenues and investment returns, have served as important relief for many households having to bear the high cost of living.
Reason For The $1,702 Amount
Set at $1,702, the 2025 PFD amount is the total of the typical dividend payment and an energy relief component. The actual number is recomputed every year, depending on the fund’s performance and budget decisions so that the residents benefit from Alaska’s natural resource wealth.

- Compliance : The applicant must not have become disqualified due to a criminal conviction; disqualified by claiming residency elsewhere in the United States or abroad during the qualifying period; or any other reason disqualifying their application during this period.
