SINGLE APPLICATION FOR SENIOR FREEZE, ANCHOR, & STAY NJ PROGRAMS

The Division of Taxation has created a single application form for the Senior Freeze, ANCHOR, and Stay NJ programs for residents 65 and over, or those collecting Social Security Disability benefits. The single application form can be submitted online or by mail. Mailings will be delivered mid-March 2025. The Division of Taxation will determine the applicant’s eligibility and send them a letter outlining the specific benefits for which they qualify. Please note that the eligibility requirements, including income limits and benefits available for all property tax relief programs, are subject to change by the State budget. 

There is an error in the packets that will be mailed regarding line 5a of the PAS-1 form. See below image:

In addition, the Division of Taxation offers telephone appointments for individuals and authorized representatives to receive guidance on Income Tax and the Property Tax Relief Programs of ANCHOR, Senior Freeze, and Stay NJ. You need to make an appointment for either the morning, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., or the afternoon, between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. A representative will call any time in that appointment window. If the first call is unanswered, the representative will make a second attempt to call. In the event the second call is not answered, a new appointment must be scheduled.
