Shapiro Administration Highlights Historic Expansion of Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program During Visit to Lackawanna County Senior Health Fair

Pennsylvania Department of Revenue Secretary Pat Browne and Department of Aging Secretary Jason Kavulich today visited the Senior Health Fair in Moosic, Lackawanna County, to speak directly with older Pennsylvanians who will benefit from the expansion of the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program. Governor Josh Shapiro recently signed a historic expansion of the program into law, making good on the commitment he made to older Pennsylvanians to help ease the burden of rising costs.

Under the expansion first proposed by the Governor, nearly 175,000 additional Pennsylvanians will be eligible for a rebate, including an estimated 3,900 people in Lackawanna County. Additionally, of the approximately 9,100 people in Lackawanna County who already receive a rebate through the PTRR program, the majority will see their rebates increase starting next year when the maximum standard rebate increases to $1,000 (up from $650). Overall, roughly 430,000 Pennsylvanians currently qualify for the PTRR program.

Speakers Include:
Chris Chermak, Lackawanna County Commissioner
Secretary Pat Browne, Dept. of Revenue
Secretary Jason Kavulich, Dept. of Aging
Rep. Steve Samuelson
Rep. Bridget Kosierowski
Peg Kopko, United Way of Lackawanna, Vice President of Community Impact
Howard McIntosh, Lackawanna County Resident
Sara McDonald, Lackawanna County AAA Director
