This Veterans Day, we offer our deepest gratitude to the men and women who have defended our nation and our freedoms.

In observance of Veterans Day, my office will be closed on Wednesday, November 11. We will resume regular business hours on Thursday, November 12.

The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has announced the most significant update to Pennsylvania veterans' benefits in 35 years. These updates will help ensure more Pennsylvania veterans and their families can access the benefits and support they have earned through their service.

The changes expand eligibility requirements and update income limits for several programs, including the Disabled Veterans' Real Estate Tax Exemption, Veterans' Temporary Assistance, Educational Gratuity, and veterans pension programs.

Veterans are encouraged to contact their local county director of veterans affairs or a certified Veteran Service Officer to learn how these updates may affect their benefits.

Learn more about these changes and apply here.

Applications for rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2025 are still being accepted. This program is available to Pennsylvanians aged 65 or older, widows and widowers aged 50 or older, and individuals with disabilities aged 18 or older.

The deadline for applying has been extended to December 31. For more information, to see if you qualify, or to apply, contact my office or visit the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue website.
