Deadline Nears for Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program

Deadline Nears for Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program

Older adults and Pennsylvanians with disabilities now have until Dec. 31, 2018, to apply for the state’s 2017 Property Tax/Rent Rebate program. Remember, assistance through my offices is always free. You need not pay a private firm for assistance.

The rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. The income limit is $35,000 a year for homeowners and $15,000 annually for renters, and half of Social Security income is excluded.

The 2018 rebate applications will be available starting in February.
