Older adults and Pennsylvanians with disabilities have until Dec. 31 to apply for the state’s 2023 Property Tax/Rent Rebate program, according to state Rep. Chad Reichard (R-Waynesboro).
“Remember, assistance through my office is always free,” Reichard said. “You need not pay a private firm for assistance.”
Income limits increased this year to $45,000 for both homeowners and renters, so if you were earning too much to qualify before, you may be eligible now.Remember to exclude 50 percent of Social Security when determining your income. The maximum rebate also increased to $1,000.
The program is open to residents age 65 years and older; widows and widowers 50 years and older; and people with disabilities 18 years and older.
