Officially the Elderly and Totally Disabled Homeowners Program doesn’t
begin until February 1st of 2024 but I wanted to send an important reminder out
to persons who have qualified in the past or are anticipating applying for the
upcoming year.

Save all of the 1099’s that come to you during the beginning of
the new year! This is important documentation which needs to be submitted
during the application process. All sources of income must be reported including
Social Security benefits, Retirement income, Interest, W-2’s, etc. If you file Income Tax, proof of that information must be made available too. Yes, I know it’s early to think about a program that doesn’t start until February 1st but, I have seen the results of what happens to individuals who misplace or dispose of these important documents.

This is a simple reminder, more detailed information regarding the Elderly and Totally Disabled Homeowners Program, Additional Veterans Program and Local Option Program will be addressed during an upcoming newsletter.
