FAQs
Can I still receive the Alaska PFD if I moved to another state but kept my Alaska residency?
No, applying for an out-of-state REAL ID or changing residency can disqualify you. Keep your documentation and residency strictly within Alaska.
Will FFESP payments count as income for other government assistance?
FFESP payments will not affect eligibility for programs like CalWORKs, Medi-Cal, or CalFresh, but always verify with your social worker.
How will families be contacted for FFESP participation?
Selected families will receive notification starting May 5, 2025, and must confirm participation by the deadline outlined in their notification.
