Last year, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an expansion of the program into law. It raised the maximum standard rebate from $650 to $1,000.
The expansion also increased the income cap for renters and homeowners to $45,000
It’s the first time since 2006 that the income limits have been raised, and it delivers rebates to nearly 175,000 more Pennsylvanians.
