Stimulus Payments February 2025 – Here’s What You Could Receive In The Coming Month

At the start of the year, families relying on government assistance programs are often navigating updated terms, deadlines, and eligibility criteria. For residents in Sacramento, California, and Alaska, there are significant benefits available that could provide much-needed financial relief in 2025.

Family First Program

In Sacramento, the Family First Economic Support Pilot Program (FFESP) provides direct financial relief to help families cope with rising costs due to inflation. Under this initiative:

• Eligible families receive a $725 monthly stimulus check for one year.
• The program started in December 2024 and runs until November 2025.
• Payments are deposited directly into the bank accounts associated with recipients’ tax returns.

Eligibility

To qualify, families must:

1. Reside in Sacramento for the duration of the program. Moving out of the city or state will result in suspended payments.
2. Have an income below 200% of the federal poverty threshold.

This program aims to provide temporary financial relief for struggling families, offering critical support as they navigate rising inflation and other economic pressures.

Permanent Fund Dividend

In Alaska, residents benefit from the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), a program funded by investments in the state’s mineral royalties. The PFD provides annual payments to eligible residents, designed to distribute the proceeds of these investments fairly among Alaskans and ensure financial security for future generations.

PFD Works

The PFD amount is calculated based on:

• The number of eligible applicants.
• Half of the statutory net income averaged over the previous five fiscal years.
• Adjustments for prior dividend obligations, operating expenses, and state agency allocations.

For 2024, the Permanent Fund Dividend amount is $1,702, with payments distributed according to the following schedule:

Status of Dividend Request	Payment Date
“Eligible-Unpaid” as of January 8, 2025	January 16, 2025
“Eligible-Unpaid” as of February 12, 2025	February 20, 2025
“Eligible-Unpaid” as of March 12, 2025	March 20, 2025

1. Applicants must have been an Alaska resident for the entire previous calendar year.
2. They must intend to remain an Alaska resident indefinitely.

The PFD continues to provide a significant boost to Alaskan families, ensuring the state’s natural wealth benefits its residents directly.

Supporting Families

Both programs are vital lifelines for families in Sacramento and Alaska. Sacramento’s Family First program offers targeted support for families grappling with inflation, while Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend shares the state’s resource wealth with its residents.

Families are encouraged to check their eligibility and take the necessary steps to ensure they receive these benefits. By staying informed and meeting requirements, recipients can secure much-needed financial stability in 2025.
