FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. LL2020200101\1
2020 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill will provide for an additional payment to recipients of the 2019 Permanent Fund Dividend who also qualify for a
2020 Permanent Fund Dividend. The additional payment will, when combined with the Permanent Fund Dividend actually
paid in 2019, total the full statutory Permanent Fund Dividend for 2019.
The funds requested in Services will be used for programming costs. The system will need to be capable of paying out two
separate dividend amounts in one year. The work to accomplish this will need to be done in FY2020-FY2021.
Considerations need to be made for applications from 2019 that are pending eligibility decisions, as well as payments of
prior year dividends after the supplemental payment year is complete. Once the programming has been done, extensive
testing will also be necessary to ensure the system is working as programmed. In total, the division estimates these
changes and testing to take 100 hours of programmer time. The hourly rate for programming is $120.00. The
programming hours will be spent strictly within the internal database. The division assumes that all of these funds are
available for garnishments and voluntary deductions as they would have been the prior year had they been paid out.
