You have days left to claim your PFD.

The deadline to apply for the 2026 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is coming up fast, and once it closes, that is it. No late applications, no second chances.

The application window shuts down at March 31st, and every year people miss it thinking they have more time. This is free money tied to living in Alaska, and skipping it just means leaving cash on the table.

You can apply online in just a few minutes, and most people already have everything they need ready. It is one of the easiest things to knock out, but also one of the most commonly forgotten.

For families, this adds up quick. Missing it does not just hit one person, it hits the whole household.

Don’t be the one who forgets.
