According to an article published in Lancaster Online, Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne said, “Thanks to this historic expansion of the PTRR program, there are nearly 175,000 people who are newly eligible for a rebate. The governor rightfully recognized there was a pressing need to increase the program’s income limits for the first time since 2006.”
Furthermore, the secretary added, “We will move as quickly as possible to process every rebate application, but we are encouraging all eligible applicants — and especially first-time filers — to submit their applications as soon as they have all the necessary information and documentation in hand. This will help us deliver rebates as quickly as we can.”
