This is how to collect the $1,750 stimulus check

Sharing is caring!

The ANCHOR tax relief program offers up to a $1,750 stimulus check to residents of New Jersey. It’s important to understand that not everyone qualifies for this program, though.

First, it is a check that references property tax relief and is sent to eligible homeowners and renters. However, we will make every effort to provide a clear explanation of this help because not everyone is familiar with it.

What is the ANCHOR program, and who can collect this stimulus check?

A state initiative called ANCHOR (Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters) aims to lessen the financial burden of certain taxes. Depending on their income, homeowners in this case may receive $1,000 to $1,500, while renters may receive as much as $450.

But not everyone is eligible to apply; A number of requirements must be fulfilled:

• The first requirement is to be a resident of New Jersey.
• The next requirement for homeowners is that you must have paid taxes on your primary home for the corresponding fiscal year. Remember, it has to be the primary home, not a property intended for income, such as vacation homes.
• Finally, for renters, it is necessary to have rented a home in New Jersey during the corresponding aid period and to have income below $150,000 annually.

It’s also important to remember that you would not be eligible for the aid if you did not submit your application by December 6th of last year. However, not everyone is paid at the same time. If you meet all the requirements and submit your application by that date, you are already on the payment list.

When will you receive the stimulus check?

The ANCHOR program website states that payments will start in December 2024 and run through 2025. The check should arrive about 90 days after you complete your application, if all of your information is accurate.

What if this benefit had been granted to you the previous year? The good news is that a large number of homes have already been enrolled automatically. If so, you won’t need to do anything further to receive your check.

If this is your first time applying for assistance, you will receive a letter in the mail with a color code indicating whether you are a homeowner or a renter: homeowners receive a green color code, while renters receive a purple color code.

One important feature of this payment is that, in contrast to federal stimulus checks, it is not a regular benefit. It’s a strategy created especially to help with property taxes. Additionally, the application process this year has been considerably more efficient.

To be clear, you will get $1,500 if you are a homeowner and earn less than $150,000. If your earnings fall between $150,000 and $250,000, you will receive a $1,000 cheque. If you are a renter and your annual income does not exceed $150,000, you will receive a $450 payment.

What happens if my check is delayed?

Keep in mind that most people would receive the check within 90 days of submitting the application, assuming the deadline was December 6th. This is easily calculable.However, if you have not yet received the money, or if time has passed and you have not received it, it is possible that more information is required or that the validation procedure is taking longer.
