The money is available through the Pennsylvania property tax rebate.

Who is eligible?
The rebates are based on income and the maximum standard rebate is $650. However, there are supplemental rebates for qualifying homeowners that can boost the payment to $975.
The program generally benefits people who are 65 or older. However, you may qualify if:
- you are a widow or widower who is at least 50
- at least 18 and are disabled
The qualifying income limit is $35,000 a year for homeowners and $15,000 annually for renters.
Renters and homeowners who make $8,000 or less qualify for the maximum rebate. People making between $8,001 to $15,000 will get $500. And homeowners making $15,001 to $18,000 will see $300, and $250 for those making between $18,001 to $35,000.
Supplemental rebates
Seniors who live in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Scranton get an exception because local wage and income tax rates are very high.
In these areas, seniors with a household income under $30,000 will have its property tax rebate increased by an additional 50%.
This will also apply to other senior households in the state if they make less than $30,000 and pay more than 15% of income in property taxes.
When is the deadline?
The original deadline for the property tax rebates was June 30. Now, the deadline has been extended until December 31, 2022.
So far more than 41,000 Pennsylvania residents have filed for their rebates. If you want to apply too, do so by clicking here.
