A 960 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expands eligibility for property tax reimbursement program.

This bill (A960) expands eligibility for New Jersey's property tax reimbursement program to include individuals retired on disability under the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS), who were previously ineligible. The bill amends the definition of "disabled person" to include those retired on disability under PFRS who don't earn additional employment income. To qualify, applicants must be 65 or older or disabled, own or rent a homestead as their primary residence, and meet income requirements. This change ensures PFRS retirees who meet all other criteria can now access the property tax reimbursement program. The program reimburses the difference between current year property taxes and a base year amount for eligible homeowners and renters.
