The Connecticut’s Renters Rebate Program is designed to help state residents who are elderly or living with a disability and meet certain income requirements.

To qualify, a recipient must be 65 years of age or older, or 18 years of age or older and eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits. You must also meet a one-year state residency requirement. Persons renting an apartment or room, or living in cooperative housing, or a mobile home are eligible.

Qualified applicants can receive rebates of up to $900 for married couples and $700 for single individuals. The total rebate amount is determined using an income scale, as well as the total rent and utility payments made during the previous calendar year.

Applications must be submitted through your local municipality’s assessor’s office or a designated social service agency. The application period is open now through September 30.
