1702 Stimulus Payment Claim October: Alaskans get a $1,702 Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) every year. This is more than just extra money, it shows that the state wants to share the wealth it has created from natural resources with its people.
The PFD wants all Alaskans to be able to use the state’s mineral, oil, and gas resources. The payment this year is bigger than usual because it includes an extra energy relief boost to help people deal with rising living costs and utility bills.
