Alaska’s economic system, which heavily relies on the state’s natural resources, is unique in the United States. In this sense, oil and gas are two components that help to boost and improve the state’s economy.
Thus, even citizens of this state can receive a stimulus cheque as a result of the sale of these resources, significantly improving each citizen’s individual economy.
If we are eligible for payment, we could receive one of these stimulus checks worth more than $1,700 within a few days.
Therefore, getting the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) is a huge financial relief, since it is a totally free check for which we only have to comply with the conditions established by the government.
If you are eligible, you will get the payment very soon and you can use it for whatever you want without having to justify it.
Conditions and requirements for the $1,700 stimulus check
First and foremost, we must remember that this stimulus check belongs to Alaska. As a result, the rest of the United States will not receive this payment because the Permanent Fund Dividend comes from Alaska.
Given that, let’s look at the general requirements:
- It is compulsory to have lived in Alaska during the year 2024. This means that citizens who have not lived in Alaska in the previous year cannot obtain this payment. There is also an absence of more than 180 days allowed, but this is for exceptional cases.
- Not living in another state during 2024. It is possible to have left Alaska in 2024 but not to have had residence outside the state during the previous year.
- Stays of 72 consecutive hours. Even if we leave the state, it is mandatory to have been in the state for a minimum of 72 consecutive hours to be eligible to receive the PFD stimulus check.
- Clean criminal record. If we have a record for serious crimes after January 1, 1997, we may not be able to obtain this stimulus check.
Because we fall within this range, we will receive the Permanent Fund Dividend on 20th February, 2025, worth slightly more than $1,700 to eligible citizens.
