HARRISBURG – State Sen. Jarrett Coleman (R-16) invites residents of the 16th Senatorial District to attend one of his four upcoming mobile office events scheduled through the middle of March in Nockamixon Township, North Whitehall Township, Macungie Borough and Hilltown Township.
“These mobile office events will make it easier for people to get help with state government programs and services, including the popular Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program,” Coleman said. “People can’t always make it to one of our offices, so we’re trying to bring the office to them.”
Coleman’s staff will help visitors with state government-related issues, programs and services. They can help residents apply for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, which offers rebates of up to $1,000 to state residents age 65 or older, widows and widowers age 50 or older, or anyone age 18 and older who is 100% disabled.
Staff also can help visitors with Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) cards, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) issues, Pennsylvania Office of the State Treasurer Unclaimed Property program searches and claim requests, state agency issues not related to PennDOT, and other state government concerns.
Mobile office services will be offered on the following dates:
- Tuesday, Feb. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nockamixon Township Building, 589 Lake Warren Road, Upper Black Eddy.
- Tuesday, March 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the North Whitehall Municipal Building, 3256 Levans Road, Coplay.
- Thursday, March 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Macungie Institute, 510 E. Main St., Macungie.
- Tuesday, March 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hilltown Township Administration Building, 13 W. Creamery Road, Hilltown.
Residents who plan to visit one of the mobile office events are asked to sign up by completing a short form on Coleman’s website so his staff can adequately prepare to provide help.
“Our office will be in several neighborhoods in the 16th Senatorial District,” Coleman said. “My goal with these mobile office events is to make state government more accessible to the people it’s intended to serve.”
