Payments from the 2022 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend are scheduled to be delivered to eligible residents of the state who have not received their dividend in nine days.

The direct payments of $3,284 from the program are set to be delivered on Sept. 14 for people whose applications had the "eligible-not paid" status on Wednesday, per the state.

To be eligible for the dividend payment, the recipient 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 other requirements such as not being a convicted felon and having not claimed residency in another state during the dividend year.

Applications for the dividend are open from Jan. 1 to March 31 of each year. The state does not generally accept late applications, but there are exceptions for some people to send applications past the hard deadline.

Yearly payments from the Permanent Fund Dividend are based on state mineral revenues for the year and are paid out to residents of Alaska every year "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 that year's Permanent Fund Dividend payments.

The 2023 Permanent Fund Dividend payment amounts have yet to be announced by state officials, but they should be sent out starting in October.
