Some eligible residents who have yet to receive their payment from the 2022 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend will get their dividend payment on Thursday.

The $3,284 payment from last year's Permanent Fund Dividend is being sent out to eligible people who had the "eligible not paid" status as of Sept. 6, according to the state.

Permanent Fund Dividend payment amounts are determined by the state mineral revenues for that year and are sent to residents of Alaska "to benefit current and future generations."

"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 in 2022 regarding the Permanent Fund Dividend.

To qualify for the yearly dividend payment, the applicant must be an Alaska resident who intends to remain a resident of the state indefinitely at the time of filling out the application, along with not being a convicted felon and not claiming residency in another state during that year.

From Jan. 1 to March 31 of each year, residents of the "Last Frontier" can apply for the yearly payment. There are exceptions for some people to apply past the hard deadline, per state officials.

The state's Permanent Fund Dividend will start sending out payments for 2023 in October. The payments being sent out now are from the 2022 Permanent Fund Dividend, which was one of the largest in the program's history.
