Once a year in Alaska, individuals who have lived there for more than a calendar year are given the opportunity to register for a PFD.
I have recently become 18, a legal adult, and had filed under my name with my parents as a sponsor for my PFD. This year, the sum is $1600, so you can see why I'd be eager to get my hands on it. As a student working part time, this sum is roughly a quarter of a year's pay for me. The only problem is, my parents seized control of it and put it into an account that they say is for my schooling, yet I'm not able to touch a penny of it. Now would be the best time for me to have it since I'd be able to avoid getting myself into further debt. My parents say they will give the money to me, but they have refused. I have an older sister who had this same problem two years ago, so I know that they will not keep their word.
I can survive without my PFD but it would increase the amount of time it'll take to pay off my college debt, so it's obvious why I want access to it. How do I go about obtaining access to my funds? I was legally still a minor when I had them file for the PFD but the money is not distributed until October 4th, and I am now a legal adult. Any help is appreciated
