MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The “senior freeze” filing deadline has been extended to Oct. 18 and the offices of Assemblywoman Mila Jasey and Assemblyman John McKeon are helping seniors file for this important tax rebate. Staff from their offices will come to the Maplewood Municipal Building, 574 Valley St., to help residents with the paperwork and filing on Thursday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to noon.
They will have booklets for residents who have never previously participated in the program, but seniors should call first to make sure forms are sent before this help session. Instead of calling the state’s treasury line, call Jasey’s office at 973-762-1886 or McKeon’s office at 973-377-1606.
If you have participated in the program previously, the PTR forms — blue booklets — are individualized and should have been sent to you. Bring the booklet with you for help on Oct. 5. If you haven’t received it, please contact one of their offices.
In addition, the Homestead Rebate forms have been mailed out by the state, and everyone should receive it by first week of October. Once you receive them you must call the number on the form and follow the prompt to put in the pin number contained in the application.
