WPBN: Alaskans are eager to benefit from the Permanent Fund Dividend (PDF), which is currently only available to those who are still categorized as “Eligible-Unpaid” but will get an increase at the end of 2024.
In order to administer the state’s oil income through the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation and disburse them to its citizens, the Alaska Permanent Fund was founded in 1976.
In order to guarantee that the state’s citizens receive a direct share of the financial gains from oil and gas earnings, the PFD distributes a percentage of the income from natural resources.
The stimulus program, which attempts to stimulate investment and expenditure, will give eligible residents $1,312. Approximately 600,000 residents will get the $1,702 in aid from the 2024 pool.
According to PFD website, “2024 (and prior year) dividend applications that are in ‘Eligible-Not Paid’ status on December 11, 2024 will be distributed on December 19, 2024”; while those that are “in ‘Eligible-Not Paid’ status on January 8, 2025 will be distributed on January 16, 2025”.
