The Alaska Permanent Fund invests in a <strong>diversified portfolio that includes stocks, bonds, and real estate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A portion of the earnings generated by this fund are distributed annually to citizens who meet residency requirements. For 2024, payable in 2025, the total amount of the PFD <strong>was set at $1,702<\/strong>. This amount is composed of a regular dividend of <strong>$1,403.83<\/strong> and an additional energy relief bonus of<strong> $298.17<\/strong>, intended to help residents with high fuel costs.<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility to receive the 2025 PFD is subject to strict criteria defined by the State of Alaska. Applicants must have been residents of Alaska for the <strong>entire calendar year 2024<\/strong>. They must also express an intent to remain in Alaska indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>A physical presence requirement mandates that the individual have been physically present in Alaska for at least <strong>72 consecutive hours<\/strong> in either 2023 or 2024.
