Write an article based on this "Do not take any steps “inconsistent” with maintaining residency in Alaska indefinitely. Follow rules for allowable absences. Seek assistance. Continue to live in Alaska for at least 1 year."
Inconsistent steps are those steps establishing customary ties with a state other than Alaska. If you register a vehicle in another state or register to vote in another state, you are signaling that you do not consider Alaska to be your permanent home. All residents may be absent for 180 days for whatever reason. Students and members of the military may be physically out of state for extended periods of time. Alaska allows you to maintain your residence provided you follow rules for allowable absences.  Report absences. You must report all absences over 90 days.  Failure to report is considered fraud. Military personnel may be excused for days in excess of 180 if they are serving on active duty or their spouse is. Students may qualify for a 120 days in addition to the time claimed for being a student in good standing. The student must be attending school full-time. A narrow exception exists if you are in your final year; you may have one semester below full-time provided you are on track to graduate. Students and military personnel must spend at least 72 consecutive hours in Alaska every two years. You must have proof of your presence, such as boarding passes with your name on it or sales receipts showing that you made purchases in Alaska over a 72-hour period. If you have questions about maintaining your residency, contact the Dividend Information ofices. You must reside in Alaska for 12 months before you can be considered a legal resident for purposes of the Permanent Fund Dividend.
