Attention Seniors: Property Tax/Rent Rebate Clinics to Begin in February 

Rep. Martin Causer 

 With the 2021 Property Tax/Rent Rebate program set to open soon for applications, I have scheduled a series of Property Tax/Rent Rebate Clinics to help eligible seniors and others obtain their rebates. 

 No appointment is needed to attend the clinics, and there is no cost to receive assistance. Help is also available at any of my district offices in Bradford, Coudersport or Kane. Wednesday, March 2 • 

 Emporium Senior Center, 105 E. Fourth St., Emporium – 9:30-11:30 a.m. 

(Appointments preferred. Call 814-486-3707.) 

 The program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, and those 18 years or older with disabilities. 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 maximum standard rebate is $650, but supplemental rebates for qualifying homeowners can boost rebates to $975.

 Applications are due by June 30.
