As far as I know, Alaska's permanent fund pays to children too, as long as they're born in the state or have lived there long enough to be counted as residents (2 years, maybe? Can't remember.).
Well, that's embarrassing, you are 100% correct. I looked it up, and the only non-recipients other than non AK residents are felons in prison (no idea why, I guess to punish their families with less income or make sure they can't pay restitution to victims?)
So, no, I have no idea where he gets the idea only adults would get an income.
