ANCHOR replaces the Homestead Benefit program.

• The deadline for filing your ANCHOR benefit application is December 30, 2022. The State will begin paying ANCHOR benefits in the late Spring of 2023. ANCHOR payments will be paid in the form of a direct deposit or check, not as credits to property tax bills. Homeowners who filed a Homestead Benefit application last year may be able to obtain their ID and PIN numbers online. Tenants do not need an ID or PIN number to file. Visit the Division's ANCHOR page for all filing information.
