$380 to $1,000 standard rebate, plus up to $500 supplemental rebate for some homeowners

Program details
How it works
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is a state-funded rebate program supported by the Pennsylvania Lottery and gaming. It provides rebates to eligible older adults and people with disabilities who own homes or rent in Pennsylvania.
What it covers
This is not a repair grant or hardening rebate. Instead, it reduces the out-of-pocket cost of property taxes or rent, which can indirectly help a household afford home maintenance or mitigation work.
Amounts
The official page says the standard rebate ranges from $380 to $1,000 based on income.
It also says some homeowners may qualify for supplemental rebates of $190 to $500 more if their property taxes are more than 15% of total income and their income is $32,070 or less, including residents of Philadelphia, Scranton, and Pittsburgh.
How to apply
The page says applications can be submitted online through myPATH, and help is available across the state for in-person filing assistance.
Timing and deadlines
The application page says to file by December 31, 2026 for the current cycle shown on the site.
