Any Alaska resident who has yet to be paid their 2022 or earlier year dividends and is “determined eligible during this time” will also be paid by the state program on Oct. 5, according to the Alaska Department of Revenue.
The amount given out to residents as part of the annual Permanent Fund Dividend is determined by mineral revenues for the state that year and is meant “to benefit current and future generations” of Alaskans.
