its way to easy for anyone to apply for a dividend and claim to be "Alaskan" not right at all

I was born in Anchorage AK 1961 I believe a true Alaskan should be born there!

I was born and raised and worked in Alaska all my life. I moved to Washington when I retired from the State of Alaska due to medical issues. I left Alaska Oct 9, 2012. I was refused the PFD that year, I believe It should be paid to me because I was present up to that time I did not change my residency . I also believe I am entitled to future PFDs because I am an Alaska Native born in Alaska 1947, I did not move there for the PFD. People that just move up there for a few years should not be entitled to it. Please change the ruling. Thank you.

People who just move (not born here) here should be required to be here at least 10 years

I think if you're born n raised should still be eligible I was born, graduate from there, left because I was in a bad divorce.....n where I lived the jobs are very few or seasonal, n was raising 4 kids as a single parent so I moved sad that I still consider myself ALASKA NATIVE. .. they should make some exception

Alaskan born and their decendents sounds reasonable, if residing in the State.

I moved to WA 2008-2011 and while I was living in WA i witnessed non natives collecting dividends illegally! Not fare most thought I was an Asian ( full Yupik native) and when some people found out I was native they asked if I collected dividents and I replied " No" dome even said " just get an address and head back yo Ak when its time to apply!" I was shocked and asked" do you live in Alaska?" And got a no reply and I was informed people that worked for the government of Ak get pfds no matter what after retirement the whole family and never have to live in messed up Alaska!! I was like messed up? Of course I did not say much I was with a bunch of non natives!! Things need to change! They have Alaska USA banks in Seattle I wanted to see for myself on PFD day how bad it was and sure enough it was the busiest bank day in Seattle!! I asked a cppl of people "you live in Ak?" Response" hell no!"

I am tired of people that come up here and tell me they only spend 2 weeks in the winter so they can get the PFD.
