Monroeville, PA – State Senator Nick Pisciottano (D-Allegheny) is encouraging eligible Pennsylvanians to take advantage of the extended deadline for the Commonwealth’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) Program, which will now remain open through December 31, 2026.
The extension, announced by Governor Josh Shapiro, gives older adults, widows and widowers, and people with disabilities additional time to apply for rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2025.
“Many Pennsylvanians are struggling with rising costs, and this program provides relief for seniors, renters, and people with disabilities who need it most,” Senator Pisciottano said. “Extending the deadline ensures more people have the opportunity to apply for rebates that can help cover groceries, medications, utilities, and other everyday expenses.”
Under the Governor’s expansion of the PTRR program, the maximum standard rebate increased from $650 to $1,000, while income eligibility limits for homeowners and renters were also expanded and tied to inflation adjustments moving forward. Last year, more than 513,000 Pennsylvanians received over $315 million in rebates through the program.
The program is available to:
- Pennsylvanians age 65 and older
- Widows and widowers age 50 and older
- People with disabilities age 18 and older
Eligible applicants must reapply each year based on annual income and the amount paid in rent or property taxes during the prior year. For 2026, applicants with incomes up to $48,110 may qualify for a rebate.
Applications can be completed online through myPATH or at Senator Pisciottano’s office. Rebates approved for payment will begin distribution on July 1st, as required by law.
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program receives funding from gaming in the Commonwealth. Since the program’s 1971 inception, older and disabled adults have received nearly $9 billion in property tax and rent relief.
