In Centre County, Governor Shapiro and Secretary Kavulich Visit Senior Center, Announce 2023 Property Tax/Rent Rebate Checks Will Go Out Starting July 1, and Remind Eligible Pennsylvanians to Apply

Governor Josh Shapiro and Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich visited the Philipsburg Senior Resource Center in Centre County to announce that rebates on property taxes and rent paid in 2023 as part of the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program will start to be distributed on Monday, July 1, 2024, as required by law.

While campaigning and in his first budget address, Governor Shapiro made a commitment to Pennsylvania seniors to ease the burden of rising costs - and the Governor delivered on that promise in August, signing into law a historic expansion of the PTRR program.

This initial distribution will include approximately 442,000 rebates totaling $266 million - critical relief that is going to older homeowners, renters, and people with disabilities across Pennsylvania. This is a significant increase from last year, when 283,468homeowners and renters were issued rebates totaling nearly $132 million as part of the initial July 1, 2023, distribution.

"This year as of July 1, over 442,000 Pennsylvanians will receive $266 million - including over 3,300 people here in Centre County - to help make their ends meet and ease the burden of rising costs," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "The Property Tax Rent Rebate program is a lifeline for many Pennsylvanians - and we worked together in a bipartisan manner to deliver for our seniors and people with disabilities and put money back in their pockets. But our work isn't done - we want the 125,000 more Pennsylvanians who are eligible but haven't yet applied to get this money, so we're encouraging them to go to pa.gov/PTRR to apply now."

Speakers Include:
Mark Higgins, Centre County Commissioner, Chair
Governor Josh Shapiro
Brian Meader, Volunteer, Centre County Office of Aging
Darlene Harper, First-Time PTRR Recipient
Jason Kavulich, Secretary of Aging
