1312 Stimulus Payment: Governor Mike Dunleavy announced a little higher Permanent Fund dividend (PFD) than lawmakers had previously agreed upon.

The governor revealed that each eligible Alaskan receives a PFD check of around $1,718—an increase from the $1,655 the Legislature approved in May—as part of his signed budget, which contains over $230 million in cuts.

Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, who chairs the Senate Rules Committee, stated that the legislature’s May estimate for the PFD and energy assistance was around $1,655. However, the slightly higher PFD was caused by post-fiscal year-end revenue gains.

“You must have resided in Alaska for the whole calendar year before the date of your dividend application and intend to stay in Alaska forever at that time to be eligible for a PFD. According to Alaska Statute 43.23.005 and AS 43.23.008, there are additional requirements for qualifying,” the State of Alaska: Department of Revenue website states.

“The year that a person applies for a current year dividend is known as the ‘qualifying year.'” For instance, the qualifying year is 2023 for someone seeking a payout in 2024. The resident activity of an individual throughout the qualifying year determines their eligibility for the payout program.”
