    "body_md": "The application deadline for the 2026 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is March 31, after which the state will not accept late applications. The dividend pays out annually to eligible Alaska residents, and missing the deadline means losing that payment for the year.\n\nApplicants can file online in a few minutes, and most people already have everything they need to complete it. The window closes at the end of March, and once it shuts, there are no exceptions.\n\nFor families, a missed dividend affects every member of the household, not just one person. Residents who have not applied yet have until March 31 to do so.",
