Pennsylvania Dept. of Revenue representatives providing in-person assistance for rebate program

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — The Department of Revenue has announced that representatives will visit senior and community centers across Pennsylvania over the next few weeks to help those who need to file their Property Tax/Tax Rebate program applications.

“We know from our experience that many of our fellow Pennsylvanians benefit from having a face-to-face conversation with one of our experienced representatives who can help guide them through the PTRR filing process,” Revenue Secretary Pat Browne said. “We have been working hard this year to increase the number of locations and in-person opportunities for seniors to receive the help they need, whether that is for a rebate claim or assistance with a state tax return. This assistance is especially needed now that there are nearly 175,000 people newly eligible for a rebate under the PTRR program thanks to Governor Shapiro’s work.”

Applicants who need help with the application should first check the eligibility guidelines, which can be found here. The new claim season opened back on Jan. 16. The rebate program benefits those eligible residents aged 65 and older; widows and widowers aged 50 and older; and people with disabilities aged 18 and older.

Below is a list of Midstate locations where help will provided for applying for the program, as quoted in the release.
