Stimulus update: One-time check payment worth $3,200 to hit bank accounts Tuesday
Eligible residents will receive $3,284 from the annual dividend distribution from the Permanent Fund Dividend, along with additional funds thanks to a provision passed in the annual budget, according to the state.
Payments will be delivered to Alaskans via direct deposit starting on Sept. 20, with all residents receiving the payment by the end of the year. Residents will receive the direct payment either via direct deposit or paper check, with the latter option not being sent out until October.
"From my first day as your governor, I have been committed to working with legislators on a solution Alaskans agree with that continues to transfer to the people their share of the resource wealth, while preserving essential state services. The two public policy goals are not in conflict with each other, we just need the political will to make it happen,” Dunleavy said about the payments in a press release.
