HARRISBURG – Sen. Tracy Pennycuick (R-24) is holding special hours in April to provide assistance to residents applying for the state Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program and urges interested area seniors to make an appointment.
"The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is open to residents age 65 or older, widows and widowers age 50 or older, or anyone age 18 and older who is 100% disabled, with a household income of $45,000 or less, counting only half of Social Security," stated Pennycuick. "Rebate amounts are calculated based on 2023 income and the amount of property tax or rent paid in 2023, with rebates ranging from $380 to $1,000."
Sen. Pennycuick added, "Income limits and refund amounts have been increased, so residents who did not previously qualify for this relief might now be eligible."
Residents interested in applying for the program can call Pennycuick’s office at 215-541-2388 to schedule an appointment on various dates throughout April at different locations in Montgomery County.
The following documents are required to complete the application process, including proof of income, Social Security/Railroad Retirement information, proof of age, and other financial statements. Property owners need proof of taxes paid, while renters require a rent certificate filled out and signed by their landlord.
