New: We Will File for You; No Action Required by You
We will file ANCHOR applications on behalf of most qualified residents who received an ANCHOR benefit earlier this year (for tax year 2019). If you qualify, you may have received an "ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter " notifying you that you meet the requirements. If the information in your confirmation letter remains the same as your prior filing, no action is required on your part. Benefit payments will be issued using the same method and banking information used in your prior filing and contained in your confirmation letter. The letter serves as your confirmation of filing and we will not send you an additional confirmation number.
I did not receive an ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter or filing packet. Can I still apply for the benefit?
If you did not receive a confirmation letter or filing packet , but meet the qualifications for the benefit based on 2020 residency, income, and age, you may still apply for the program:
Homeowners. Most homeowners may file online or by phone with an identification number (ID) and PIN. However, if you bought your home in 2020, altered your deed, or had certain life changes such as a divorce or death of a spouse, you must file an application by mail.
Renters may file using the online option, and do not need an ID and PIN.
Filing deadline
If you received the ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter notifying you that you qualify and you do nothing else, we will file the application for you and pay the benefit based on information in that letter. However, if you need to change any information, you have until September 30, 2023, to file an application on your own.
All other applicants have until Friday, December 29, 2023, to file applications.
