Staff Reports
The dividends from the Alaska Permanent Fund have been distributed, but some residents have not received their share. They will finally receive their dividends on September 14, 2022.
Before you start thinking that you can apply for the dividends whenever you want, make sure that you remember that the application period for the program ends on March 31.
Sometimes, special cases can be made for those who are not able to receive their dividends. In order to be eligible for this perk, the recipients must be residents of Alaska for the entire year and have no felony convictions. Also, they should not have been sneaking in to claim residency in other states.
The funds used for the program are derived from the state's mineral revenues. The goal of these payments is to help the next generation of Alaskans. This year's payout was reportedly one of the best.
According to Governor Mike Dunleavy, the additional cash can be very helpful in addressing the various expenses that people are facing, such as food and energy costs. He noted that the dividends could help pay off credit card bills and save for college.
Although the exact amount of the 2023 dividend has not been announced, it's widely expected that the residents of Alaska will receive their checks in October.
