Please see below from the NJ Division of Taxation regarding the 2024 Anchor Benefit:
We will file on behalf of most eligible New Jersey homeowners and renters under 65 and not collecting Social Security disability benefits on September 1, 2025, based on information contained in their 2021 application. We will begin sending those taxpayers their Anchor Benefit Confirmation Letter on August 13, 2025. If you receive a letter and need to change your banking information, or prefer to request a paper check, then you will have to file your own application by August 31, 2025.
If you do not receive an Anchor Benefit Confirmation Letter, you will have the opportunity to file an Application for Property Tax Relief on your own when online filing is available in mid-August.
New in 2025 – We will not be sending out mailers with ID/PIN information to file your application. Instead, all applicants must verify their identity through ID.me while using our online web application.
When applying, have your 2024 property tax details (i.e. County/Municipality Code, Block/Lot/Qualifier, tax amounts) available as well as the gross income reported on your 2024 NJ-1040.
