Pennsylvanians can receive up to $1,000 in tax rebates. Here is now.

Pennsylvania seniors, widows and people with disabilities can receive up to $1,000 under an expanded tax and rent rebate program.

Pennsylvania Revenue Secretary Pat Browne, state Sen. Nick Miller and Rep. Pete Schweyer visited Casa Guadalupe in Allentown Thursday to encourage those eligible to apply for the reimbursed funds.

The rebate expansion from $650 to $1,000 came during Gov. Josh Shapiro’s first year in office in office; according to a news release, the state distributed $314 million last year to over half a million Pennsylvanians who applied, including 13,800 in Lehigh County. The expansion also raised income eligibility limits.

“With the changes the expansion has made, the PTRR program is in a much better place to continue serving as a lifeline for people in need for years to come,” Browne said in a statement.

Seniors 65 years old and up, widows or widowers 50 and up, and people with disabilities can apply now at myPath.PA.gov. Eligible people who make up to $48,110 annually can receive between $380 and $1,000 in rebates.

“By taking this historic step and rallying behind the leadership of Governor Shapiro, we have put a much improved program in place to help older Pennsylvanians, widows and widowers, and people with disabilities,” Schweyer said in a statement. “This is really a basic function of state government — to help people in need continue living safely in the homes where many have raised their families.”
