As July 2024 draws near, millions of Americans may find themselves in need of assistance from their local government.
Only if you are aware of it and apply for it in a timely manner will you receive that assistance. Pennsylvania residents will especially want to pay attention to this because tax rebates are available until July.
Pennsylvania’s property tax and rent rebates
Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania has stated that about 442,000 residents—nearly 80,000 of whom are receiving rebates for the first time—will soon start receiving their rent and property tax refunds for taxes paid last year.
At a gathering held at the Upper Darby Senior Center, Shapiro stated, “The Property Tax Rent Rebate program has long been a lifeline for Pennsylvanians – and in my first year, we expanded the PTRR program and passed the largest targeted tax cut for our seniors in nearly two decades.”
“This is a big deal for our seniors – and it’s proof that we can work together in a bipartisan manner to get stuff done.”
Pennsylvanians 65 years of age or older, widows and widowers 50 years of age or older, and those with disabilities 18 years of age or older are all beneficiaries of this program.
Revisions from the previous year have resulted in the following rebates: $1,000 for homeowners and renters in any of those groups with incomes up to $8,000; $770 for those in the $8,001 to $15,000 range; $460 for those in the $15,001 to $18,000 range; and $380 for those in the $18,001 to $45,000 range.

Minnesota Rebate for E-Bikes
In Minnesota, e-bike owners can receive financial benefits, and others are encouraged to purchase an e-bike and reduce their use of cars.
July 2024 is when the program is scheduled to launch. On July 1, 2024, the first rebate certificates for those who have been approved will be issued. On June 5, the online application opened at 11:00 a.m.
The requirements for eligibility are as follows:
- For an individual to be eligible for the full rebate, their annual income cannot exceed $25,000.
40% of funds are set aside by the program for participants who make less than $41,000 annually. - Lower refund levels may still be available to higher earners.
