QUALIFIED Pennsylvania homeowners can file claims for property tax rebates of up to $1,658 next month under a new law.
At the beginning of August, Governor Tom Wolf announced an expansion of the state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, which calls for a second payment equal to 70 percent of the initial rebate will be given to every Pennsylvanian who is accepted for a property tax refund.
The program reimburses participants for their rent or property tax payments in order to assist senior citizens and people with disabilities in Pennsylvania.
The top rebate amount before the change was $975.
Since $140million in American Rescue Plan funds were committed to supporting bonus rebates, claimants may now earn up to $1,657.50.
How do states differ in their current stimulus programs?
Nearly 20 states have instituted programs to help residents bear the burden of inflation.
Some states have opted for a direct-payment program including California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, and Illinois.
