PA Treasurer Stacy Garrity Announces Nearly $256 Million in Rebate Payments

Pennsylvanians can apply for rebates through December 31, 2025

Treasurer Stacy Garrity today announced that 423,092 Property Tax/Rent Rebate payments have been sent to eligible Pennsylvanians. Payments totaled $255.8 million. 

“The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is a tremendous program that gives hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians the help they need to make ends meet,” Treasurer Garrity said. “At Treasury we make sure these payments are ready to go on July 1, and we process any future approved payments in a couple of days once they’re received from the Department of Revenue. I encourage everyone to check to see if they’re eligible to apply if they haven’t already.”

Rebate payments were issued on July 1, with 245,312 electronic payments totaling $148.7 million and 177,780 checks totaling $107.1 million. This is the first year Treasury has processed more rebates electronically than by paper check. 

Both homeowners and renters below this year’s income limit of $46,520 may be eligible. The maximum standard rebate is $1,000. Applicants can exclude half of their Social Security income. Income limits for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program are adjusted annually.

Pennsylvanians 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older within the income limitation are eligible to apply for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.

The application deadline for this year’s rebate has been extended to December 31, 2025. Treasury will pay future rebates as approved payments are received from the Department of Revenue. 

Last year, Treasury paid more than $315 million to about 517,500 Pennsylvanians.
