Property Tax/Rent Rebate
Last year PA House Democrats worked with Gov. Josh Shapiro to make a good thing even better.
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program has delivered millions of dollars in rebates to hundreds of thousands of older Pennsylvanians and people living with disabilities, but the income limits and awards hadn’t been changed in nearly 20 years.
Digital applications are now open, and the sooner you apply, the better. Physical applications will be available in my office AFTER February 1.
If you want to know more about the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, or other state programs and how they might be able to help your family, my office is here to make sure you have access to the state services you need and deserve!
