This is wonderful news for Alaskans because the 2024 stimulus checks will arrive early in October. Based on the earnings from Alaskan mineral and oil sales this year, the PFD program has completed the approval process for a total of $3200. On October 3, the first wave of funds will be paid, and you will see information below on eligibility, application procedures, and ways to monitor your application’s status. A proposal of $5500 was made at the outset, but at just $3200 it is considerably lower; however, it will still aid households and local economies.
Who is eligible for the $3200 Alaskan 2024 Stimulus Check?
People who promptly and rightly applied through the right avenues—the official myAlaska website and myPFD portal—will get their stimulus checks on October 3.
Eligibility criteria
The Alaska Tax Office has defined three criteria needed to qualify for stimulus checks. Residents must:
- Demonstrate permanent residence in Alaska: To apply, applicants need to demonstrate that they are permanent residents of Alaska, meaning they have proven and upheld ongoing residency, which establishes their lasting ties to the state.
- Have lived in the state for the entire last calendar year: This strengthens the resolve towards the state
- Not have a criminal record: Residents with a record do not qualify for any benefits as a result.
The Tax Office’s framework ensures that only those who authentically add to Alaska’s economy and community are the ones that benefit from the capital.
Applicants need to understand that information on eligibility, data compliance, application status, and all stimulus check information should come solely from official sources.

Track the status of your Stimulus Check application
Support systems are available to all residents who applied on time via the official Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) website, which states:
- The division will send out the 2024 PFD applications in two separate disbursements. Eligible candidates who selected direct deposit as their payment method and applied online are the ones who will receive the first disbursement on October 3, 2024.
On the myPFD portal and myAlaska website, you can review your Stimulus Check application status and confirm your payment. The information that is missing may also be found in this location.
People who chose direct deposit for their funds will have their payments made before those who asked for their checks to arrive by post.
Key points to remember about your PFD application status:
- Have your Social Security number and other qualifications available when you log into your myPFD portal account via the official PFD website.
- Make sure to regularly check your status to follow the distribution date if there are any changes or difficulties. As a result, you will keep surprises or delays from appearing.
Those who like to visit the PFD offices in person can do so on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, from 10am to 4pm. You’ll find that offices remain closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
