What is Permanent Fund Dividend?

An article in the official website of Alaska states that the Permanent Fund Dividend was created to distribute a share of the state’s oil revenues back to the residents every year. Reports say in 2022, the amount of the payments was higher compared to the past few year. This is apparently because of the distribution of the energy relief checks worth $662.

To be able to qualify for the Permanent Fund Dividend, an individual must have resided in the state of Alaska for the whole of 2021. Furthermore, the applicant must have not been sentenced of felony or incarcerated on the same year. Like in 2023, the deadline of submitting applications are on March 31 every year.
