More than 440,000 Pennsylvanians will soon see property tax and rent rebates via direct deposit and mailed checks thanks to a push by Gov. Josh Shapiro. In a visit to Upper Darby on Monday, Shapiro announced the rebates would begin flowing into applicants’ bank accounts on July 1 via the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program. The initial distribution will include about 442,000 rebates totaling $266 million that is going to older homeowners, renters and people with disabilities. Under the expansion of the program, nearly 175,000 more Pennsylvanians are eligible, and the vast majority who qualified in prior years will see their rebates increase. Residents can apply for the PTRR program and learn more about it on the state Revenue Department website.
