A2804

Allows non-eligible surviving spouses to claim a pro rata homestead property tax reimbursement for the days the deceased spouse lived.

This bill amends the homestead property tax reimbursement law to allow a surviving spouse who does not meet the eligibility criteria to claim a pro rata reimbursement for the number of days the deceased spouse lived during the tax year. This change aims to provide financial relief to surviving spouses during the challenging period following the death of an eligible claimant. The surviving spouse must file an application with the director by June 1 of the year following the deceased spouse's death.
