An initiative under the Property/Income Tax Rebate Program could provide up to $975.00 USD to eligible Pennsylvania residents. The idea is to distribute $140 million in tax refunds on property and rent relief. So Pennsylvanians age 56 and older and widowers age 50 and older could get extra money. Similarly, it can also be obtained by people with disabilities over the age of 18.
Meanwhile, the income thresholds for eligibility are: $35,000.00 USD for homeowners and an annual income of $15,000.00 USD for renters.
Thus, half of the Social Security payments received by homeowners or renters will not count toward these income limits.
The good news is that starting in July, eligible Pennsylvania residents receive standard rebate checks worth up to $650.00 USD. In other words, all this funding for the program comes from the American Rescue Plan Act, for a total of $140 million.
As if that weren’t enough, some people might even qualify for additional rebates. These exceed the figure of $975.00 USD.
So how to claim the refund?
This is a simple process after the person has confirmed their eligibility.
To do so, you will need to file a claim and refunds will be processed within four to six weeks. All this counting from the moment the claim was filed.
In this way, the payment can be received by direct deposit or as a check sent by mail.
It is valid to remember that the deadline to file a claim is December 31. In this way, interested parties can go to the online portal https://Revenue.pa.gov.
This is a very simple website and is designed to guide the people involved in the process with relative ease.
In other words, Pennsylvanians now have the opportunity to lessen their financial burdens through this program.
