S 1864 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Lowers age of eligibility for surviving spouse under homestead property tax reimbursement program.

This bill lowers the minimum age requirement for surviving spouses to qualify for New Jersey's homestead property tax reimbursement program. Currently, surviving spouses must be age 62 or older; the bill would reduce this age threshold (though the exact new age isn't specified in the provided text). It directly affects surviving spouses of current program participants (who are 65+ or disabled) by expanding eligibility to younger spouses. The key mechanism is amending the age requirement in the program's eligibility criteria, specifically for surviving spouses. This change would allow more surviving spouses to receive property tax reimbursements based on their age alone.
