Application Deadline Nears for 2023 Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, Causer Says
Dec. 09, 2024
BRADFORD - Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) is reminding older adults and Pennsylvanians with disabilities they have until Dec. 31 to apply for the state's 2023 Property Tax/Rent Rebate program.
"We significantly expanded eligibility for the program this year, and increased the maximum rebate," Causer said. "I encourage anyone who qualifies or thinks they may qualify to contact our offices for free assistance with filing for the benefit."
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program benefits eligible residents 65 years and older; widows and widowers 50 years and older; and people with disabilities 18 years and older.
Income limits increased this year to $45,000 for both homeowners and renters, and the maximum rebate also increased to $1,000. Remember to exclude 50% of Social Security when determining income.
Those who wish to apply are reminded the following documentation is needed to allow claims to be processed:
• Renters will need a 2023 PA Rent Certificate, completed by their landlord, or statement from HUD office; 2023 proof of income, such as Social Security/Disability Form 1099, employment W-2, Pension/Retirement Form 1099 and Interest/Dividends Form 1099; and a driver's license or photo identification. Some may also need to bring a death certificate, life lease or deed.
• Homeowners will need proof of 2023 paid property taxes to their county, municipality and school district; 2023 proof of income, such as Social Security/Disability Form 1099, employment W-2, Pension/Retirement Form 1099 and Interest/Dividends Form 1099; and a driver's license or photo identification. Some may also need to bring a death certificate, life lease or deed.
Applicants who wish to receive their rebates through direct deposit should bring a check for account information. If not, paper checks will be mailed.
