HARRISBURG — Rep. Brad Roae (R-Crawford/Erie) today announced he is hosting two final Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PT/RR) clinics on Wednesday, March 13.
The events will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at Shontz Memorial Library,
145 S. Second St., Conneaut Lake, and from 1-3 p.m. at the Bair Family Center,
237 S. Pymatuning St., Linesville.
“No one should pay for assistance completing a Property Tax/Rent Rebate application,” Roae said. “My staff and I can quickly and efficiently assist with the application process. For this year’s program, the income limit has increased to $45,000. The way this is calculated only half of a person’s Social Security income counts. Thus, if a retired couple received a total of $50,000 in Social Security in 2023, it would only equate to $25,000 as far as the eligibility limits are concerned.”
The PTRR program is open to those 65 years and older; widows and widowers 50 years and older; and people with disabilities 18 years and older.
Those who are unable to attend these events and still needing assistance completing an application can stop by one of Roae’s district offices. The Meadville district office, 18937 Park Avenue Plaza, is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. His Cranesville location,
10195 John Williams Ave., is open on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. His Linesville district office,
145 W. Erie St., is open on Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The maximum rebate was increased from $650 to $1,000. The program is funded by the Pennsylvania Lottery rather than from sales tax or personal income tax revenue.
The 6th Legislative District includes the city of Meadville; Beaver, Conneaut, East Fairfield, East Fallowfield, East Mead, Fairfield, Greenwood, Hayfield, North Shenango, Pine, Randolph, Sadsbury, South Shenango, Spring, Summerhill, Summit, Union, Vernon, Wayne, West Fallowfield, West Mead and West Shenango townships; and Cochranton, Conneaut Lake, Conneautville, Linesville and Springboro boroughs in Crawford County and Conneaut, Elk Creek and Springfield townships and Albion and Cranesville boroughs in Erie County.
