The deadline for eligible Pennsylvanians to apply is December 31<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harrisburg, PA\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 Treasurer Stacy Garrity today encouraged seniors and people with disabilities to apply for Pennsylvania\u2019s\u00a0Property Tax\/Rent Rebate Program<\/a>\u00a0(PTRR) as soon as possible. The deadline is December 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s Property Tax\/Rent Rebate program is a huge success,\u201d Treasurer Garrity said. \u201cWe\u2019ve already made more than 503,000 payments totaling over $305 million. This money can make a huge difference, especially for Pennsylvanians who are struggling to make ends meet \u2013 and thanks to great work by the General Assembly and the Governor to expand the program, more people are eligible than ever before. I encourage everyone who qualifies to apply as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Property Tax\/Rent Rebate Program benefits Pennsylvanians age 65 and older, widows and widowers age 50 and older, and people with disabilities age 18 and older. The household income limit for rebates is $45,000 for both homeowners and renters. Claimants may exclude half of their Social Security income. The maximum standard rebate is $1,000.<\/p>\n

To date, Treasury has processed 504,748 Property Tax\/Rent Rebate payments totaling $306,761,115. Of those, 279,426 (55.4 percent) were paid via direct deposit. The remainder were paper checks delivered via the U.S. Postal Service.<\/p>\n

Treasury will continue to make payments on a rolling basis as approved applications are received from the Department of Revenue.<\/p>\n

For more information about eligibility and how to apply, Pennsylvania residents can\u00a0contact their state legislators<\/a>, visit the Department of Revenue\u2019s\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0or call 888-222-9190. Applications can be submitted online with Revenue\u2019s myPATH system.<\/p>\n

Those who have already applied can check the status of their rebate by clicking on the \u201cWhere\u2019s My Rebate?” tool available on\u00a0this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
