More Money for Over 23,000 Seniors in Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties
Property Tax and Rent Rebate Expansion
A highlight of this year’s budget is a large expansion of the Property Tax and Rent Rebate Program! That means that Pennsylvania is sending more money to low-income, senior homeowners and renters.
his is the first time the program has been expanded since 2006 and the rebate amounts and income limits are inflation proof, so no senior becomes ineligible just because their Social Security payment increased.
Expanding who is eligible for Property Tax and Rent Rebates and how much they receive has been a top priority for Democrats. We knew this program needed to address inflation, rising costs, and the basic needs of many low-income seniors, and we worked together to make that happen.

When Will I Get My Rebate?
First-time filers who have filed by June 1, 2024, should expect to receive their rebates between July 1 and September 1, 2024. Some rebates may take additional time if the Department of Revenue needs to correct or verify any information on a rebate application.
The best way to ensure you receive your rebate on time is by filing as soon as possible and opting to receive your payment via direct deposit.
You can follow the progress of your rebate on myPATH after you file by visiting myPATH.pa.gov and selecting the Where’s My Rebate? link on the homepage to check the status of your rebate.
