Filing for the 2025 Alaska Permanent Fund dividend opened Wednesday, and residents can submit their applications online until midnight March 31.
Applications can be filed online through myAlaska, or by visiting pfd.alaska.gov.
Paper applications can be found and filed at distribution centers around the Kenai Peninsula.
Legislative Information Offices in Kenai, Homer and Seward are all locations where applications are available.
In Kenai, applications can be submitted at the City of Kenai building, the Nikiski Senior Center and the Kenai Community Library. In Soldotna, the Soldotna Public Library and the Soldotna Senior Center are both distribution centers. Independent Living Center facilities in Homer and Seward are registered locations, as are the Homer Public Library and the Seward Senior Center.
Payments will begin to be disbursed in October. Those who file online with a direct deposit method will receive the PFD at the beginning of October, the department says, while those who file online with a check payment method or those who file a paper application will see money at the end of October.
