Deadline to apply for 2009 Property Tax/Rent Rebate Dec. 31

HARRISBURG, Dec. 2 – State Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Phila./Montgomery is reminding residents that the deadline to apply for a Property Tax/Rent Rebate is Dec. 31.

The program offers eligible seniors, the disabled and widows and widowers a rebate on property taxes or rent paid in 2009.

“My offices can help residents find out if they qualify for the program, provide applications and assist with filling out the application,” Boyle said. “Those who received a Property Tax/Rent Rebate for 2008 already should have received an application for 2009.”

Boyle said applications for the program can be obtained by contacting one of his constituent service offices at 215-342-1700 for his Rising Sun Avenue office or 215-676-0300 for his Bustleton Avenue office. Applications are also available through the Philadelphia Corporation on Aging, which can be reached at 215-765-9040, the Montgomery County Area Agency on Aging, which can be reached at 610-278-3601, or the state Department of Revenue through its website, www.revenue.state.pa.us.

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program provides rebates of up to $650 to income-eligible senior citizens, widows or widowers 50 and older or those 18 or older with a permanent disability. Applicants need only count half of their Social Security, Supplemental Security Income and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits.
