Rebate Filing Date Extended

New Jersey's Governor Jon S. Corzine has announced today that the deadline for filing 2008 "Senior Freeze" (Property Tax Reimbursement Program) and Homestead Rebate applications has been extended until November 2, 2009.

"With the deadlines for these programs approaching, many potential applicants still need time to file," said Governor Corzine. "This extension will help to ensure that everyone who is eligible gets the chance to participate," he said.

According to the Governor's press release, rebate checks are already on the way to eligible senior and disabled residents who applied for property tax relief benefits under the Senior Freeze and Homestead Rebate Programs. Checks for those who filed after the original deadline "will be processed and issued as quickly as possible."

"Homestead Rebate checks for nonsenior and nondisabled homeowners are scheduled to be issued in October. "

"Information about the Homestead Rebate Program is available by calling the Homestead Rebate Hotline (1-888-238-1233 for homeowners or 1-888-213-8623 for tenants) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

"Status of rebate checks can be found by calling 1‑877‑658‑2972, or online at www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/homestead/hrintro.shtml. Rebate check information for homeowners who are under 65 and not disabled will not be available either online or by phone until October.

"Homeowners who still have not filed their Homestead Rebate applications can do so by phone (1‑877‑658‑2972) or online at www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/. The automated telephone filing system and Internet filing application are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The tenant rebate application and instructions are available on the Division of Taxation's Web site for those senior and disabled tenants who have not yet filed.
