The Alaska House is set to unveil a plan to pay a one-time $1,300 energy relief check separate to the PFD.
JUNEAU, Alaska - As oil prices skyrocket, the Alaska House of Representatives is set to consider paying a one-time $1,300 energy relief check to all Alaskans, in addition to the Permanent Fund dividend.
If approved, the check would have the same requirements as the dividend for distribution, a spokesperson for the House majority coalition said. In 2008, then-Gov. Sarah Palin successfully proposed a $1,200 energy rebate to help combat rising fuel costs. The bipartisan House majority coalition said this year’s energy relief check would be separate to the 2022 Permanent Fund dividend, which has yet to be decided as the budget moves through the Legislature.
