Stimulus check payments are what many American citizens need to make up for inflation and soaring prices. However, most taxpayers have already collected all their money from Economic Impact payments.
If you live in Alaska, you should know by now that the 2024 PFD filing season has started. Therefore, you can now apply for a new stimulus check for you and your family.
It was last January 1, 2024, when the application began. Even if you can send your application through March 31, 2024, you’d better file as soon as possible so that the Permanent Fund Dividend division can process your stimulus check faster.
CAN I SEND MY PFD STIMULUS CHECK APPLICATION BY PAPER?
The Department of Revenue in Alaska confirms that applicants can submit a paper application. As a matter of fact, these paper applications will be ready at PFD distribution sites and offices. But are they advisable?
However, it is always best to file online. In this way, you will not forget to complete all the necessary things. What is more, you can receive a confirmation number right after you send your stimulus check application.
Do not forget that those eligible applicants who request a direct deposit and file online will receive the first mass payment. The exact date of this first mass payment will be revealed later on on the PFD website, but your stimulus check will be ready in early October.
Instead of a direct deposit, you can get a check. If you are eligible, it will be part of the second mass payment. Therefore, you will have to wait until the end of October to cash your free money.
WHAT DO I NEED TO FILE MY ONLINE APPLICATION FOR MY PFD PAYMENT?
Actually, you will need to file your online application for this stimulus check using your myAlaska username. Once you log in, you will get more details regarding your application.
Besides, it will allow you to sign your application online and electronically too. If you have moved to a new house, you can also update your address. Getting there your 1099 tax documents is possible as well.
Do not submit your stimulus check application until you have completed it. Otherwise, the PFD department will have to review it. Do not miss out on this payment and file as soon as you can.
Remember that as of January 9, 2024, about 114,030 Alaskans have already filed. Visit https://pfd.alaska.gov/ so you can apply for free money. Only residents in Alaska who meet all the requirements can file though.
