The 2019 Alaska Permanent Fund dividend will be $1,606, the state Department of Revenue announced Friday.

The annual check this year will be delivered to 631,000 Alaskans, most of the state population, and come largely from earnings of the state’s $64 billion fund that for decades has been seeded with income from oil-production revenue.
