Digital TelevisionProperty Tax Rent Rebate Filing Deadline Extended
State officials recently extended the deadline to apply for Pennsylvania’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program for older adults and residents with disabilities from June 30 to December 31.
The rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. A 2006 program expansion increased the income limit from $15,000 to $35,000 (which excludes half of Social Security income) for homeowners and raises the maximum standard rebate for both homeowners and renters from $500 to $650.
As of May 29, the Revenue Department had received more than 517,000 rebate applications. About 578,000 older Pennsylvanians and residents with disabilities are expected to benefit from the program this year, as compared to 310,000 before the 2006 program expansion.
Property Tax/Rent Rebate claim forms and information are available online at www.PaPropertyTaxRelief.com and by calling 1-888-222-9190.
Forms and assistance also are available at Department of Revenue district offices (listed in the government section of telephone directories), local Area Agencies on Aging, senior centers and state legislators’ offices.
