PITTSBURGH -- Pennsylvania residents can check the status of their property tax/rent rebates on the Internet.
The state Department of Revenue has a new Web site at
papropertytaxrelief.com that provides information on claim status, rebate amount and the date a rebate is expected to be direct-deposited or mailed.
Six weeks after submitting a rebate application, Pennsylvanians can visit the new Web site and click on "Where's My Property Tax/Rent Rebate?" to learn their status.
Checks will be distributed starting July 1.
The rebate program provides property tax relief and rent rebates of up to $650 to many low-income senior citizens.
