Pennsylvania residents only have a few days to apply for a rebate program that will give them up to $650.
The Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rebate program is intended to provide some financial assistance to elderly or disabled residents of the Keystone State. For both renters and homeowners, the amount they receive from this program will vary based on their annual income, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
To be eligible for this program, a resident must be 65 or older, be a widow that is 50 or older, or be a person with disabilities who is 18 or older. Additionally, spouses, personal representatives, or estates can file for this rebate on behalf of recipients so long as the recipient has lived at least one day in their residence in 2021 and meet all of the other eligibility criteria.
