The State of New Jersey has extended the deadline for residents to file for the ANCHOR benefit to Jan. 31.
The state will start distributing ANCHOR benefits in late spring and payments will be paid in the form of a direct deposit or check, not as credits to property tax bills.
Homeowners who filed a Homestead Benefit application last year may be able to obtain their ID and PIN numbers online. Renters/tenants do not need an ID or PIN number to file.
Visit the Division’s ANCHOR page for all filing information.
