The Alaska House of Representatives is set to propose paying a one-time $1,300 energy rebate to all Alaskans, separate to the Permanent Fund dividend. The proposal comes from the bipartisan House majority coalition and is set to be part of budget debates.
JUNEAU, Alaska - As oil prices skyrocket, the Alaska House of Representatives is set to propose paying a one-time $1,300 energy rebate to all Alaskans, separate to the Permanent Fund dividend.
The economic costs of COVID-19 are part of the reason for the proposed payment. Edgmon said costs for fuel could double for rural Alaska residents before the end of the year, which also justify the check. Last year, the dividend check was just over $1,100. Edgmon said the House majority is still committed to not overdrawing the Permanent Fund beyond sustainable amounts.
