NOTICE: HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE GRANT CHECKS HAVE NOW BEEN MAILED OUT
HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE GRANT CHECKS TO BE MAILED IN APRIL
Mayor DiGirolamo announced today (April 1, 2020) that he has directed the Township Administration to immediately begin the process of issuing this year’s Homeowners Assistance Grant checks so that Homeowners will receive them in April rather than in the Fall.
Homeowners Assistance Grant checks are traditionally mailed to our Township Homeowners in September or October. The Mayor has directed, however, that work begin now to process and mail over 14,400 checks to Homeowners throughout Bensalem Township, and that the amount of this year’s Grant will again be $300.
The traditional $150 Grant for Senior Citizens (65 and older) and Disabled Persons will also be made available at this time. As in the past, there are income eligibility requirements for these additional Grants, and an application for the Senior Citizen and Disabled Person Grants must be submitted to the Township.
Due to the time involved in processing the over 14,400 Grant checks, together with other factors regarding this process that are outside of the Township’s control, the Township projects that Homeowners will begin receiving their checks near the end of April, at a time when they will likely be most needed by our residents.
Speaking on behalf of the Township Council and his Administration, the Mayor stated that the he hopes the early mailing of the $300 Grant will make it a little easier for Homeowners and their families as they work to get through these uncertain and unprecedented times.
