Pileggi on property rebate deadline

Posted by Press Release on December 10, 2009

State
Sen. Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-9, of Chester, reminds senior citizens
and other residents who are eligible for the state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate
Program that the deadline for submitting an application for this year’s program
is Dec. 31. Those who have already completed an application do not need to
apply again.

The
Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate program provides property tax relief or
rent assistance for eligible Pennsylvanians. Eligible residents are those 65 or
older, widows and widowers 50 or older, and those 18 or older who are disabled.
Annual household income may not exceed $35,000, although only half of any
Social Security income and railroad retirement benefits count towards that
calculation.

Individuals
who qualified for a rebate last year should have received a new application in
the mail this year. Pileggi encouraged those who have not already applied to
stop in one of his three district offices as soon as possible to have the
application completed. Constituents should bring a copy of their paid
municipal, county and school taxes as well as proof of income.

Pileggi’s
district offices are located at:

100 Evergreen Drive, Suite 113, Glen Mills, 610-358-5183;

415 Avenue of the States, Chester, 610-447-5845; and

631 West Baltimore Pike, West Grove, 610-345-1084.
