In 2008, the AK PFD hit its all time high of $2069, and we got an "Alaska Resource Rebate" of $1200. Every family in the state who qualified got $3269 per person. In large families, that was a windfall. That said, I think that was the winter that was extra cold and windy. We were living in a house with a boiler, and it wasn't adjusted right one month. That month's heating bill was over $500. Heating costs are serious business. We got a deal on the house we bought because renters couldn't afford to heat the whole house one winter, and the cold and damp in the rest of the house caused enough damage to bring down the value of the house. I didn't know there were other states that offered blanket assistance like you described, that's pretty interesting to know.
