Lowers age of eligibility for surviving spouse under homestead property tax reimbursement program.
This bill lowers the age requirement for surviving spouses to qualify for New Jersey's homestead property tax reimbursement program. Currently, surviving spouses must be 62 or older to qualify; this bill would reduce that age threshold (exact new age not specified in provided text). The change directly affects widows and widowers who were previously ineligible until age 62. It modifies the eligibility criteria in the existing law without altering income limits or residency requirements. The program helps homeowners with property tax relief, and this amendment would expand access to surviving spouses at a younger age.
