Renters' Rebate Program

In this episode of Meriden Health Talk, Natalie Gill, Community Services Supervisor, for the Meriden Department of Health and Human Services is here to talk about the Renters' Rebate Program. 

The Renters’ Rebate Program, which runs from April 1 to September 30 each year, is a state program for Connecticut renters who are elderly or totally disabled, and whose incomes do not exceed certain limits. Persons renting an apartment or room, or living in cooperative housing or a mobile home may be eligible for this program.

Renters’ rebate can be up to $900 for married couples and up to $700 for single persons. The renters’ rebate amount is based on a graduated income scale and amount of rent and utility payments made in the calendar year prior to the year in which the renter applies.

The income guidelines for 2025 are:

• For single individuals, their income must not exceed $46,300 or
• For married couples, their income must not exceed $56,500.

Please note that if you are legally married you most apply together and persons legally separated or divorced must apply individually.

Please Call 203-237-0066 or 203-630-4708 to schedule an appointment.
