Fleming introduces bill to expand Property Tax/Rent Rebates

HARRISBURG, April 13 – State Rep. Justin Fleming, D-Dauphin, today announced he has introduced legislation that would introduce a new multi-person household income limit for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.

“The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is a wonderful program, but unfortunately many seniors on fixed incomes who have higher expenses due to being married or living in a multi-person household are not eligible for the program, leaving them behind,” Fleming said. “I’m working to ensure that seniors in our district and across Pennsylvania are provided with the assistance they need, no matter what type of household they are living in. I hope others will join me in supporting seniors.”

House Bill 873 would impose a multi-person household income limit for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, separate from a single-person household income limit. The current income limit would remain for a single-person household, while the income limit for a multi-person household would be $55,000 for homeowners and $22,500 for renters.
