Crew member relief disbursement is scheduled for early 2025.
Due to the low return rates of crew member applications, ADF&G provided an alternative methodology for calculating crew payments. Without this adjustment, crew members would have receive payments significantly higher than permit holders, which is not in line with typical crew contracts or settlements. Therefore, an amended spend plan was submitted to NOAA Fisheries on 1/31/2025. As of this update, it is still being reviewed by federal agencies. The Commission is uncertain when approval will occur which is needed before relief payments to crew can be issued and disbursed.
