~ Today, Governor Josh Shapiro attended the ribbon-cutting for the new Salem Adult Citizens Center in Roslyn and highlighted his plan to expand the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program for seniors. The Governor's budget proposal includes a significant expansion of the program, which is estimated to benefit over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

The proposed expansion of the PTRR program would raise the maximum rebate for seniors from $650 to $1,000, increase the income cap to $45,000 a year, and make nearly 175,000 more Pennsylvanians eligible for the program. It is estimated that more than 12,000 people in Montgomery County alone would newly qualify for the rebate.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Governor Shapiro spoke about how his budget proposal will help seniors across Pennsylvania stay in their homes. "The Salem Adult Citizens Center has served the people of this community for nearly five decades. Thanks to this new center, seniors will be able to enjoy great programming and access the benefits they've earned to live out their golden years with dignity," said Governor Shapiro. "My budget's proposed expansion of the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program will also support seniors by providing a lifeline to help keep them in their homes – especially those living on a fixed income."
