Most Alaskans will be getting $1,174 in Permanent Fund dividends today.
It's a day widely anticipated by most residents, who get their yearly dividend from the state's vast oil wealth just for living in Alaska.
Most eligible Alaskans will get their dividends by direct deposit on Thursday. The rest will receive checks in the mail.
Voters passed a constitutional amendment in 1976 to establish the Permanent Fund as a way to stretch out the state's oil wealth for future generations.
