In just 14 days, a whole bunch of eligible residents will be seeing some extra cash in their bank accounts. This will be the fifth wave of payments for the 2023 Permanent Fund Dividend, and boy, oh boy, are these folks in for a treat! It’s about time they get what’s rightfully theirs, don’t you think?
Now, the folks who will be receiving their moolah on January 18 are the ones who were labeled as “Eligible-Not Paid” as of January 10. And let’s not forget, these hardworking Alaskans have not seen a penny from the 2023 or earlier payouts. That’s just not right! Thankfully, the wait is almost over.
Of course, there are some requirements to qualify for these sweet, sweet payments. You gotta promise to stick around Alaska for the long haul and keep your nose clean—no convicted felons allowed! And hey, if you missed out this time, no worries! You’ve got until March 31 to apply for the 2024 program. So mark your calendars and get those applications in!
Now, let’s talk turkey. How much dough are we talking about here? Well, the amount of moolah these lucky Alaskans are gonna get is determined by the state’s mineral revenues each year. In 2023, the check was a hefty $1,312 per resident. Cha-ching!
And can we take a moment to give a big shoutout to the Alaska Department of Revenue Commissioner Adam Crum? This guy’s like Santa Claus himself, making sure all those hardworking Alaskans get their fair share of the state’s natural resource wealth. He even mentioned that the 2023 Permanent Fund Dividend is gonna inject nearly $1 billion into the state’s economy. Talk about making it rain, am I right?
So, for all you curious cats out there, if you wanna know more about this program and see if you’re eligible to score some cash, just head on over to the Alaska Department of Revenue’s website. And who knows, you might just hit the jackpot in 2024!
Well, there you have it, folks! Another round of Alaskans getting their much-deserved dough, all thanks to the hard work of the Alaska Department of Revenue. It’s like a feel-good movie with a happy ending, and who doesn’t love a good ol’ happy ending?
