Unfortunately there’s nothing we here at Consumerism Commentary can do about your missing rebate. You will have to contact the State of New Jersey.

My mother, —, has NOT received her rebate. All her mail is being forward to me at:

—
Frenchtown, NJ 08825

Can you locate her check? If it has been cashed, it was not by her, and consider that theft and forgery. Most likey to have stolen the check are step-dad and his children.

What is the status of the rebate? I am a homeowner and I have not received any status on mind. Filled out the application some time ago and even called for status and still no updates. Can someone give me a straight answer?

I received a set-off notice from the state on taxes that I owed the IRS which was $359. I paid over 15,000 is property taxes. My question is due to the set-off to pay the IRS will I get a check for the balance.

I’ve tried calling, but to no avail. a 30 minute wait due to caller volumn. My question is: I share a house with a partner, and she recieved $1230.00 rebate, and I only recieved $1000.00. We both contribte 50% of the taxes on the house, and I’m wondering why she recieved more.

Go to the link in my first post above and click on Homestead rebate. There are links there that answer eligibility questions as well as a link to contact the state dept. of taxation to ask questions.

Here is a link. I posted a lot of info yesterday relating to renter eligibility but for some reason my post was deleted.

I just received my $80 rebate. I’m really ticked off. Last year I got $350, this year only $80. I cannot believe this. I earned less then last year and I’m still paying the same amount in rent. Who can we complain to about this. I’m considered low-income and I still manage to pay high rent and raise 4 growing boys. This is definately not fair. I understand that homeowners pay a lot in property taxes, but what about us tenants who have to struggle to pay rent, PSE&G (utilites), and make sure our children are fed and clothed. Also what about the fact that half of these homeowners are behind on thier taxes and do not make repairs that need to be made on their property. There has to be someone we can talk to about this.

Matty, they don’t “give them back” they rebate a portion if eligible to offset the high tax rate in NJ. The following website lists eligibility requirements.

why does new jersey collect taxes and then give them back? is there some basis used to determine if a rebate is coming or not?

i looked on the state website and didn’t see any information on that…
