The income eligibility level for the Rent Rebate Program is $15,000 a year, excluding half of Social Security income, and the maximum rebate is $650. Pennsylvania residents must be 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, or those 18 years or older with disabilities to qualify.
Residents of the 29th Senatorial District may contact any of Senator Argall’s offices toll free at 1-877-327-4255 for applications or assistance in completing the forms, and are reminded to provide all necessary income, property tax or rental information required to process forms.

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is one of five programs supported by the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The expanded portion of the rebate program is paid for with revenue from slots gambling.
