I have one of these cases. Had it for nearly a year and haven't been able to use it as I ran out of money. MAYBE I will finally be able to build myself a new computer! Lots of bills to pay and the $1200 is being equally divided into payments to my natural gas company and electric utility. Word is we are getting our 3rd 20% increase on natural gas in the past 4 years. Still... NICE to be a resident of an Owner State! Might be enough left for at least a good start on a new build. Haven't had one in 6 years.

Early PFD payments will go out Sept. 12

Most Alaskans will receive their Permanent Fund dividends on Sept. 12, the state said Wednesday.
That's about three weeks earlier than was initially announced.
This year's payment of about $2,100 -- the exact amount hasn't been announced yet -- will be supplemented by a $1,200 "resource rebate" for a total payment of about $3,300 per Alaskan.
The annual dividend payment comes from investment profits of the $36 billion Alaska Permanent Fund, a state oil-wealth savings account.
The Legislature approved the extra $1,200 payment this month to help Alaskans cope with high energy costs.
The Sept. 12 payments will go to all 500,000 or so Alaskans who asked for their dividend to be deposited directly into their account, said Bill McAllister, spokesman for Gov. Sarah Palin. The previous plan was to pay some of them on Oct. 2 and the rest on Oct. 16.
Checks will be mailed to those who asked for their payment that way during the week of Sept. 30, McAllister said.
He added that applicants who asked for a direct-deposited payment but who have changed accounts or banks have until the end of business on Aug. 29 to submit a form to the state Permanent Fund Dividend Division requesting a change.
