The payment from the 2022 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is set to be delivered to some eligible residents of the state on Thursday.

The dividend's direct payments of $3,284 are slated to be sent to people on Thursday whose applications had the "eligible-not paid" status on Aug. 9. The dividend payments have been sent out since last year, with another round for people with "eligible-not paid" status on Sept. 6 scheduled to be delivered on Sept. 14, according to the state.

"The PFD at $3,284, a total of $13,000 for a family of four, can go a long way in offsetting the record-high costs of energy and food we're experiencing, preparing for winter, paying off debt, saving for college, or any number of other purposes," Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R-AK) said in a statement last year regarding the 2022 Permanent Fund Dividend.

To qualify for the dividend payment, you must be an Alaska resident who intends to remain a resident of the state indefinitely at the time of filling out the applications, along with other minor requirements. Some of the other requirements include not being a convicted felon and having not claimed residency in another state during the dividend year.

Residents can apply for the dividend from Jan. 1 through March 31 of each year. Late applications are generally not accepted by the state, but there are exceptions for some people to send applications past the deadline.

The Permanent Fund Dividend payments are based on state mineral revenues and are paid out to residents of "the Last Frontier" every year "to benefit current and future generations." The 2023 Permanent Fund Dividend amount has yet to be announced by state officials.
