The state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate program distributed millions in relief to ease housing costs for some of the state’s most vulnerable residents last year.
More than 517,000 Pennsylvanians received a financial boost in 2024 thanks to the state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.
Last year, payments totaling over $315 million were distributed through the program to those who applied and qualified, according to the PA Treasury Department.
“This program is tremendously important for seniors and people with disabilities,” said state Treasurer Stacy Garrity. “Inflation continues to make it difficult for so many Pennsylvanians to make ends meet, and these rebates can make a huge difference.”
According to Garrity, almost 97% of the payments have been made to those who applied.
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older.
The program was expanded in 2024 to increase household income limits to $45,000 for homeowners and renters (up from $35,000 and $15,000 respectively). The maximum standard rebate is now $1,000 (up from $650).
