According to Smart News, Las Vegas is giving a helping hand to seniors with money troubles. The city has a special program to give back some money seniors paid in utility taxes. If you’re 60 or older, you might get a refund on the taxes you paid for electricity, phone, and gas in 2023.
How to Apply and Who Qualifies
To get this help, you must be 60 or older and make less than $16,500 a year (or less than $18,900 for married couples or those leading a household). If you own a home and qualify, you can also ask for a discount on your yearly sewer bill. But remember, you can’t apply online. You need to call and set up a meeting at specific places like Centennial Hills Active Adult Center, Doolittle Community Center, Dula Community Center, East Las Vegas Community Center, or Howard Lieburn Senior Center.
Time is Ticking: Apply Before March 15, 2024
Don’t wait too long! The time to apply is from January 2 to March 15, 2024. If you need help with utility bills, grab your 2023 bills, ID, income proof, and other required papers. Set up an appointment soon at one of the centers listed above. This is a chance for seniors to get some financial support from the city, so don’t miss out!
