KANE — Eligible senior citizens and people with disabilities in the Kane area are invited to take part in a Property Tax/Rent Rebate clinic hosted by state Rep. Martin Causer, R-Turtlepoint, on from 1-3 p.m. Thursday at the Kane Senior Center, 100 S. Fraley St., Kane.
“People are always welcome to visit any of our three district offices in Bradford, Coudersport or Kane for assistance, but the clinics are designed to make it even more convenient,” Causer said. “There is no charge for the assistance we provide at the clinics or the office. I hope everyone will take advantage of this service.”
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, and those 18 years or older with disabilities. Eligibility income limits are set at $15,000 for renters and $35,000 for homeowners, excluding 50 percent of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits. Also, applicants with veterans disability benefits and/or pensions do not need to declare that income.
Residents are reminded to bring all necessary income, property tax or rental information required to process claims quickly and accurately.
