Stimulus Alert: Some Alaskans set to receive $1,312 direct payment tomorrow
Alaskan residents awaiting payments from the Alaska Department of Revenue’s Permanent Fund Dividend program will receive their checks in one day. Those who have not yet received their payments and had the ”Eligible-Not Paid” status last week for checks dated 2023 or earlier will also be included. Alaskan residents set to receive their pending payments from the Alaska Department of Revenue’s Permanent Fund Dividend program within a day. This distribution will cover individuals who were marked as “Eligible-Not Paid” for payments dated 2023 or earlier during the previous week.
In one day, eligible residents who have not gotten their payments from the Alaska Department of Revenue as part of the Permanent Fund Dividend program will get their checks.
Those who have yet to receive their PFD checks from 2023 or earlier and had the “Eligible-Not Paid” status last Wednesday will get their payment from the state program on Thursday. Those who have already received their checks for 2023 or earlier will not get an additional payment from the state.
The PFD program provides eligible residents payments each year based on Alaska’s annual mineral revenues for that year. The payment from the program in 2023 was worth $1,312 and went out to eligible residents beginning in October.
“The 2023 PFD marks the 42nd year Alaskans have received their share of the state’s natural resource wealth,” Alaska Department of Revenue Commissioner Adam Crum said in a 2023 statement. “I would like to thank our Permanent Fund Dividend Division for their tireless work year-round in administering the program and processing the applications.
“This year, we processed over 8,000 more applications than in 2022,” Crum added. “The 2023 PFD will inject nearly $1 billion into the state’s economy and directly into the hands of Alaskans.”
To be eligible for a payment from the PFD program, an Alaskan must intend to remain a resident of the state indefinitely and not be a convicted felon, among other requirements.
