Dear Neighbor,

It’s just like 2018 again! The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions, and the city is hosting a parade today, Friday, Feb. 14 from 11 a.m. to approximately 3:15 p.m. SEPTA trains will operate on a modified schedule, free of charge – that includes buses and regional rail. More information is available here. I encourage you to go and show your support for our team and our region… responsibly, of course.

I am also pleased to say that a federal judge has approved a plan for Crozer Health to remain open and be turned over to a “receiver” for 30 days. This receiver, called FTI Consulting, will take over Crozer temporarily and ensure continuity of service until Crozer can be sold to an appropriate nonprofit organization.

That being said, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office is still monitoring this process every step of the way, as am I and my fellow legislators in the Southeast. Patients and staff alike have been terribly mistreated at the hands of Prospect, which prioritized money above all else and bled Crozer dry. Our community deserves better.

Lastly, my office will be closed on Monday, Feb. 17 in observance of Presidents Day.

Sincerely,

Pennsylvania State Rep. David M. Delloso

Veterans: How to apply for a vehicle registration fee waiver

A new state program allows Severely Disabled Veterans to forgo the fees for titling or registering one vehicle. To qualify, a veteran must have a 100% service-connected disability that has been certified by a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office Administrator. These disabilities include:

• Lost a limb or eye or became partially paralyzed while serving;

• Has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor or the Purple Heart.

To apply, you must fill out form MV-371DV - Supplemental Application for Free or Reduced Registration Rates for Vets. Please visit this post on my website to download the form and for detailed instructions on how to fill it out based on your reason for applying.

Department of Revenue Tax Forms

You may visit my office to get your 2024 Property Tax/Rent Rebate booklets and 2024 PA-40 Income Tax forms, as well as some of the schedule forms. Just ask my staff at either of our district offices in Ridley Park or Darby Township.

As a reminder, my staff is happy to assist you with the Property/Tax Rent Rebate, but they are not trained to help with income tax preparation.
