WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? Governor Josh Shapiro delivered on a promise he made to older Pennsylvanians when he signed a new law that significantly expands the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program, the largest targeted tax cut for Pennsylvania seniors in nearly two decades. Under the expansion first proposed by the Governor, nearly 175,000 more Pennsylvanians qualify for a property tax or rent rebate. At the same time, many of the 430,000 claimants who previously qualified under the program’s prior guidelines will see their rebates increase. Here are the specific changes that will be in effect as eligible Pennsylvanians apply for rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2023: • The income cap for homeowners has increased from $35,000 to $45,000 • The income cap for renters has increased from $15,000 to $45,000 • The maximum standard rebate has increased from $650 to $1,000 This is the first time the program has been expanded since 2006. Additionally, the income limits will be tied to the cost of living – which means older Pennsylvanians and those with disabilities will not lose out on their rebates through no fault of their own. Governor Shapiro pushed to make these commonsense changes to boost a program that provides a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians, helping many of them to age in place in their homes. PA-1000 Pennsylvania Property Tax or Rent Rebate Program www.revenue.pa.gov BEFORE YOU BEGIN STATE SUPPLEMENTARY PAYMENT RECIPIENTS The State Supplementary Payment (SSP) is not included on your SSA-1099 form. The Department of Human Services will issue annual statements to verify your SSP benefit. SSP is still considered reportable income. As with other Social Security income, only half of the SSP income needs to be included on Line 4 of the Property Tax/Rent Rebate claim form. SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS WITH PA ADDRESSES If you were a Pennsylvania resident for all of 2023, you do not have to submit proof of your Social Security income including Social Security retirement and Supplemental Security benefits. The Social Security Administration provides Social Security income information to the PA Department of Revenue. The PA Department of Human Services will provide State Supplementary Payment information to the department. However, you or the person who prepares your claim will need these statements to correctly calculate the amount of your rebate. If none of these documents are available, you or your preparer will need to estimate the amount you received during the year. If the dollar amount you provide is not correct, the department will adjust the amount of your rebate based upon income amounts reported directly to the department by the Social Security Administration or the Department of Human Services. SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS WITHOUT PA ADDRESSES If your address in Social Security Administration records was not a Pennsylvania address for 2023, you must submit a copy of one of the following documents as proof of your 2023 Social Security income: Form SSA-1099 reporting your 2023 Social Security benefits, a statement from Social Security that reports the monthly or yearly Social Security/Supplemental Security Income benefits you received during 2023, or a bank statement showing the amount of Social Security/Supplemental Security Income benefits deposited into your account during 2023.

HOUSEHOLDS WITH MORE THAN ONE QUALIFIED CLAIMANT Only one member of your household may file a claim even if more than one person qualifies for a rebate. If someone other than your spouse appears on the deed or the lease, please complete a PA-1000 Schedule F (enclosed in this booklet). You may apply for only one rebate each year. DECEASED CLAIMANT To be eligible for a rebate, the claimant must have lived at least one day of a claim year, owned and occupied and paid taxes or rented and occupied and paid rent for the claim year during the time period the claimant was alive. The property tax paid for a deceased claimant will be prorated based upon the number of days the claimant lived during the claim year. See Schedule A for the calculation of the prorated property tax rebate. To determine if a deceased claimant is eligible for a rebate, a deceased claimant’s claim form must also include an annualized income amount in the calculation of total household income. See Schedule G, specifically the instructions for Line 11g, for information on the calculation of annualized income to be included in household income. A copy of the death certificate must also be included with the claim form. A surviving spouse, estate or personal representative may file a claim on behalf of a deceased claimant. A personal representative can also have a previously filed rebate issued in his or her name, instead of the name of the decedent, in certain circumstances. Please see sections entitled PA-1000 Pennsylvania Property Tax or Rent Rebate Program SURVIVING SPOUSE, AN ESTATE, and PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE for details. SURVIVING SPOUSE The surviving spouse can file the completed claim and include a copy of the death certificate and a letter stating that he/she was the spouse of the claimant at the time of death. The surviving spouse may sign on the claimant’s signature line. OR If the surviving spouse is eligible to file a claim, he/she can file under his/her own name instead of submitting a claim using the deceased individual’s claim form. The surviving spouse should print his/her name, address, and Social Security Number (SSN) in Section I, and follow the filing instructions. The surviving spouse should furnish proof required for a first time filer. Do not use the label the department sent to the decedent in the booklet. The surviving spouse should enter the deceased spouse’s SSN and name in the spouse information area, and fill in the oval “if Spouse is Deceased”, located in the area next to the Spouse’s SSN on the claim form. AN ESTATE The executor or the administrator of the claimant’s estate may file the claim and submit a Short Certificate showing the will was registered or probated. When there is no will and there are assets (an estate), submit a copy of the Letters of Administration. A Short Certificate or Letters of Administration can be obtained from the county courthouse where the death is recorded. The person filing the claim form on behalf of the deceased person may sign on the claimant’s signature line. PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE If a person dies and there is no will, the will has not been registered or probated or there is no estate, then a personal representative may file a claim on behalf of an eligible decedent. A decedent’s personal representative must submit a copy of the decedent’s death certificate, a DEX-41, Application for Refund/Rebate Due the Decedent, and a receipted copy of the decedent’s funeral bill showing that the personal representative personally paid the decedent’s funeral expenses in an amount that is greater than or equal to the amount of the property tax/rent rebate to which the decedent is entitled. If a person dies after filing a claim and there is no will, or if the will has not been registered or probated, or there is no estate, then a personal representative can also request that the department change the rebate to be issued into his/her name. In cases where the rebate check has been received but cannot be cashed, the check must be returned with a request to have the rebate issued in the name of the personal representative. The decedent’s personal representative must submit a copy of the decedent’s death certificate, a DEX-41, Application for Refund/Rebate Due the Decedent, and a receipted copy of the claimant’s funeral bill showing that the personal representative personally paid the funeral expenses in an amount that is greater than or equal to the amount of the property tax/rent rebate to the claimant is entitled.

If you have any questions regarding the filing of a claim on behalf of a deceased claimant, please call the department at 1-888-222-9190. PRIVACY NOTIFICATION By law, (42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(C)(i); 61 Pa. Code §117.16) the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue has the authority to use the Social Security Number (SSN) to administer the Property Tax or Rent Rebate Program, the Pennsylvania personal income tax and other Commonwealth of Pennsylvania tax laws. The department uses the SSN to identify individuals and verify their incomes. The department also uses the SSN to administer a number of tax-offset and child-support programs federal and Pennsylvania laws require. The commonwealth may also use the SSN in exchange-of-tax-information agreements with governmental authorities. Pennsylvania law prohibits the commonwealth from disclosing information that individuals provide on income tax returns and rebate claims, including the SSN(s), except for official purposes.

Damages include Black Lung benefits and benefits granted under Section 306(c) of the Workers’ Compensation Security Fund Act (relating to Schedule of Compensation for disability from permanent injuries of certain classes); • Payments provided to eligible low-income households under the commonwealth’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program; • Payments received by home providers of the domiciliary care program administered by the Department of Aging, except those payments in excess of the actual expenses of the care; • Disability income received by disabled children in the household; • Federal veterans’ disability payments or state veterans’ benefits received by the veteran or unmarried surviving spouse; • The difference between the purchase price of your residence and its selling price, if you used the proceeds from the sale to purchase a new residence. This new residence must be your principal residence; • Federal or state tax refunds; • Spouse’s income earned or received while not living with you; • Public Assistance benefits received by children in the household, even though the check is issued in claimant’s name; • Qualified distributions from ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) Savings Programs; • Federal stimulus or economic impact payments; • STRIVE Program credits; • Child support; and PA-1000 Pennsylvania Property Tax or Rent Rebate Program • Individual Retirement Account and employer pension rollovers (must provide a copy of federal Form 1099-R indicating rollover or other supporting documentation). CAUTION: If a claimant had significant income that is not typically received in equal amounts throughout the claim year, or if the number-of-days method does not accurately calculate the annualized income, the claim may be filed using an alternative method for determining the annualized income amount to be included on Line 11g. A worksheet must be included to show how the amount of annualized income was determined in those instances. The worksheet must clearly show how the income was determined and an explanation of the reason for deviating from the Schedule G method. Examples of when the claim would be filed using an alternative method would include instances where there is income from a one-time event such as a gain on the sale of stock, lump sum payments from an IRA or annuity, an amount is reported as an inheritance or a payment is received as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy. Proof of the deviation from the number-of-days method may be required by the department. The department will accept reasonable methods of calculating the annualized income amount. Line 12 - If you and/or your spouse received benefits from the federal Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) as (a) retired federal civil service employee(s) or as a surviving spouse, you may reduce your total eligibility income by 50% of the average retired worker Social Security payment for 2022. The average retired worker Social Security payment for 2022 is $9,948. Enter $9,948 on Line 12 only if you include CSRS benefits in Line 6. If both you and your spouse received CSRS benefits, or if you received your own CSRS benefits and CSRS benefits as a surviving spouse, enter $19,896 on Line 12. Otherwise, enter $0. Line 13 - Add the positive income figures reported on Lines 4 through 11g, subtract the amount on Line 12 (if applicable) and enter the net result on Line 13 and 23. Do not include losses reported on Lines 8, 9 and/or 10. IMPORTANT: If you have over $45,000 of income claimed on Line 13, you are not eligible for either Property Tax or Rent Rebate relief under this program. Line 14 - For Property Owners Only Before completing Line 14 of the claim form, complete any schedules listed in the instructions for this line. If you must complete more than one schedule, you must complete them in alphabetical order. If one schedule does not apply to you, skip it, and go to the next schedule. You must carry forward, as the total tax paid, the last amount shown on the previous schedule you complete to the next schedule you complete. Enter the total amount of the property taxes paid for your primary residence, or the amount shown as eligible property taxes paid on the last schedule completed. IMPORTANT: If you do not enter the amount of all taxes paid on the primary residence, you will limit the department’s ability to determine your eligibility for and amount of a supplemental rebate. See Page 14 for more information on supplemental rebates. You must deduct interest or penalty payments, municipal assessments, per capita taxes, or occupation taxes included in your payment. If you paid early and received a discount, you enter the amount you actually paid on Line 14. You must also deduct other charges included in your tax bills. See taxes that are not acceptable on Page 11. If your name does not appear on the receipted tax bills, you must submit proof of ownership. Examples of proper proof are: a copy of the deed or a copy of the trust agreement, will, or decree of distribution if you inherited your property. If your address is not on your receipted property tax bill or mortgage statement, you also must submit a letter from your tax collector or mortgage company verifying your home address. NOTE: If your tax bills include a name and/or names other than yours and your spouse’s, you must complete PA-1000 Schedule F or submit proof that you are the sole owner of the property. Include only the property tax on the amount of land that is necessary for your personal use. PA-1000 Schedule A - If you owned and occupied your home for less than the entire year of 2023 or a claim is being filed on behalf of a deceased owner who died during 2023. PA-1000 Schedule B - If you were a widow or widower age 50 to 64 who remarried in 2023. PA-1000 Schedule E - If you used part of your residence for a purpose other than living quarters in 2023. PA-1000 Schedule F - If your deed shows owners other than your spouse. As proof of property tax paid, homeowners must provide photocopies of one of the following real estate documents: • All 2023 real estate tax bills that have been marked “paid” by the tax collector (see the instructions beginning on this page for the proper calculation of the amount on Line 14). If you paid your taxes in quarterly installments, a tax bill must be submitted for each period. For tax bills that are not marked paid by the tax collector, the department will accept a photocopy of both sides of the cancelled check along with a copy of the tax bill; • Your year-end mortgage statement showing the amount of real estate taxes paid; • A letter signed by the tax collector certifying that you paid your 2023 real estate taxes. The letter should also declare the total tax does not include nuisance taxes or penalty; OR • A receipted copy of your tax billing from your owner’s association or corporation. Resident stockholders of a cooperative housing corporation, such as a condominium, may qualify as property owners based on their pro rata share of the property taxes paid to the corporation for their residence.
