Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) - apply Jan 1 to Mar 31
Every Alaska resident (including children) must apply for the PFD each year between January 1 and March 31 - online with a myAlaska account (opens 9am Jan 1) or on a paper form from the 2026 FORMS menu. Check status at myPFD. There is no PFD office in Bethel; call 907-465-2326 or use pfd.alaska.gov. Address or bank changes must be in by Aug 31 each year to be updated before the October mass payment - changes are done only in myPFD or with the Address Change / Payment Method forms, never by phone or email. The PFD Division never sends text messages; ignore texts about your case.
Who it’s for
Alaska residents present the full prior calendar year with intent to remain; children apply through a parent/guardian
