If you worked for Amazon in California between July 22, 2017, and November 7, 2023, you may be eligible to receive a one-time payment from a $3 million settlement. Amazon was sued for failing to pay its workers enough for overtime, particularly if they received signing or sign-on bonuses during that period. Although Amazon denies any wrongdoing, it has agreed to pay $3.6 million to settle the case. The settlement will provide each worker with approximately $565.43, depending on how much Amazon pays. Fortunately, there is no need to fill out any forms to receive the payment.
Alaskans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) this year, which will provide each person with approximately $1,650. Since 1982, this annual distribution of funds, derived from the profits of the state’s oil and mining industries, has been a consistent source of financial support for residents. The amount distributed varies according to the state’s cash reserves, and for this year, politicians have chosen to increase the allotment, providing even greater financial assistance to the people of Alaska.
