HARRISBURG, Pa. — Editor's note: The above video is from Jan. 16.
The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue announced today that Spanish speakers who wish to apply for the Commonwealth's Property Tax/Rent Rebate program can now do so online in Spanish.
The application is available through myPATH, the department’s online filing system. The system is free and provides instant confirmation that an application has been successfully filed, allows access to automatic calculators, reduces errors and includes other features to assist in filing an application.
The Spanish application is a new option this year, and the Department of Revenue says it aims to make the rebate application process easier for Pennsylvania seniors and people with disabilities who speak Spanish.
“We are thrilled to offer this new online option for Spanish-speaking applicants to apply for a property tax or rent rebate,” said Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne. “Our staff at the Department of Revenue has been working hard behind the scenes to launch this new tool for our Spanish customers to make the process of applying for a rebate as easy as possible for them. We are following Governor Shapiro’s lead and working to make all of our online customer service options as accessible as possible for all Pennsylvanians.”
Gov. Shapiro worked to expand the program this year, making nearly 175,000 additional Pennsylvanians eligible.
