The deadline for senior citizens
and other eligible persons to apply
for property tax and rent rebates
has been extended to Dec. 31. The
original deadline for the program,
which is funded by state lottery
profits, was June 30.
Rep. George C. Hasay said the
extension is possible because profits
from the state lottery have been
sufficient to provide rebates to indi-
viduals who apply after the original
deadline.
Those eligible for the rebates are
individuals age 65 or over, widows
and widowers age 50 and over and
permanently disabled persons over
age 18 who meet the income guide-
lines. The maximum eligible income
for claimant and spouse is $11,999.
Only one person per household may
The maximum amount of the
rebate is $500. Those who receive
rebates also automatically qualify
for inflation dividends of up to $125.
The lawmaker said that income
which must be reported includes
salaries, wages, self-employment
and rental income, veterans’ disa-
bility payments, interest, dividends,
social security (except Medicare),
Supplemental Security Income, pen-
sions or annuities, unemployment
compensation, workmen’s compen-
sation, alimony and support pay-
ments,cash public assistance and
railroad retirement benefits.
Also included are life insurance
death benefits in excess of $5,000, all
gifts of cash or property when the
total value exceeds $300, the full
amount of any realized capital gains
and certain income from the sale of
a home.
Applications for the rebate pro-
gram are available at Hasay’s dis-
trict office at 2261 Sans Souci Park-
way, Hanover Township, Wilkes-
Barre, PA 18702.
Hasay added that legislation has
been enacted which increases the
maximum income limits for the
rebate program. The measure
applies to rebate applications filed
in 1986. Those applications would
provide rebates for property taxes
or rent in lieu of property taxes that
were paid in 1985.

SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS
It's true that certain symptoms, such as
headaches, neck pain, and numbness or
tingling ‘in the arms and legs can be a
definite sign of nerve pressure. However,
pain is very often the last sign to appear
when a problem is present and the first
sign to disappear when the problem is
corrected by your chiropractor. Unfortun-
ately we do not have a red light that goes
off every time we have a bone out of
proper alignment irritating a spine nerve.
Often, by the time we notice pain,
numbness, swelling or disease in our
body, the spinal problem has already been
inhibiting communications between the brain and body parts with resultant
reduction of proper function.
The chiropractor is specially trained to locate and correct those
misaligned spinal bones.

utors, has been in effect since 1952.
Last year the Board lifted similar
restrictions on approximately 20,000
retail establishments.

mittee had voted disapproval of the
proposal.

views on this issue before the Board
takes final action. Persons who wish

metns may contact LCB Executive
