Harrisburg, PA\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced that approximately 442,000 payments totaling about $266 million were disbursed today to Pennsylvanians who have been approved for this year\u2019s Property Tax\/Rent Rebate Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an all-time record for day one of the Property Tax \/ Rent Rebate Program,\u201d Treasurer Garrity said. \u201cMore people than ever before are eligible for rebates, thanks to great work by the General Assembly and the Governor to expand the program. This money can make a huge difference \u2013 especially for the many Pennsylvanians who are struggling to make ends meet, and I encourage everyone who is eligible to apply for their rebate. Treasury will continue to make payments on a rolling basis as we receive approvals from the Department of Revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the payments sent today, 56 percent were processed via direct deposit, while 44 percent were paper checks mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.<\/p>\n

The General Assembly and the Governor expanded the Property Tax\/Rent Rebate Program this year to increase household income limits for rebates to $45,000 for homeowners and renters (up from $35,000 and $15,000, respectively). Claimants may exclude half of their Social Security income. The maximum standard rebate is now $1,000 (up from $650).<\/p>\n

Payments will continue to be processed as applications are approved by the Department of Revenue and received by Treasury. The deadline to apply has been extended to December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Property Tax\/Rent Rebate Program<\/a>\u00a0benefits Pennsylvanians age 65 and older, widows and widowers age 50 and older, and people with disabilities age 18 and older.<\/p>\n
