Pennsylvania is offering inflation-relief payments to low-income homeowners. Those who qualify for the Property Tax Rent/Rebate program will get a one-time tax rebate.

To qualify, homeowners must be 65 and older, widows and widowers 50 and older, or people with disabilities 18 and older, CNBC reported.

This rebate is a bonus in addition to one sent out in 2021. The refund should’ve been sent in September 2022; it’ll amount to 70% of the one sent out in 2021.

If you receive a rebate of $650 in 2021, the second one should amount to $455, according to Pa.’s Department of Revenue website.

If you haven’t claimed either of your rebates yet, the deadline has been extended to Dec. 31, 2022.
