Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program Deadline Extended to December 31, 2024
Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania has extended the deadline for applying for rebates on rent and property taxes paid in 2023 from June 30, 2024, to December 31, 2024. This extension responds to feedback from seniors in the state aiming to provide more financial relief amidst rising costs. Shapiro emphasized the program’s first expansion in nearly 20 years to support those on fixed incomes, according to the report of Marca.
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program is crucial for Pennsylvania’s elderly and disabled, offering rebates based on income. This year, higher income limits have made the program more accessible benefiting thousands more Pennsylvanians. The extended deadline gives eligible individuals more time to apply and receive these rebates.
Approved rebates will start being distributed on July 1 as required by law. Due to increased applications especially from first-time filers, processing times may vary. Officials are working to ensure all eligible applicants receive the assistance they qualify for.
