Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend: Eligibility & Amounts

The Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) pays residents annually. In 2022, the dividend was $3,284. Eligibility requires:

• Alaska residency ≥1 year
• No felony convictions in past 5 years
• No child support delinquency in past 5 years

Full-time residency not required; you can live anywhere if other criteria are met. The PFD is tax-free federally and statewide, and not counted as income for benefits like Social Security or food stamps. It shares oil wealth and offsets Alaska's high cost of living.
