Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend filing period opens online and for paper filing as of January 1, 2015.
Permanent Fund Dividend Division Director Sara Race said there are roughly 365 distribution sites across the state which carry the paper applications.
Race: “So last year we roughly received about 675,000 applications, as I said before from 2013 to 2014 we saw a slight increase with about 2,000 more applications however with that being said in the past we’ve had some slight decreases from year to year so I think the margin of increase to decrease will be very minimal.”
The deadline for the filing period is March 31, 2015 and Race said the division will accept paper applications after as long as they are postmarked by that date.
