Davenport, IA - It is now time to begin filing Iowa's 2014 Rent Reimbursement Claim Form and the Center For Active Seniors, Inc. (CASI) is here to help. CASI's Senior Advocates are now assisting older adults who are eligible to file for the 2014 Iowa Rent Reimbursement. CASI is one of three locations, in Scott County, recognized by the Iowa Department of Revenue to assist with this claim process. Rent reimbursement forms can be picked up at CASI, 1035 West Kimberly Rd., Davenport, IA., 52806, Monday through Friday, from 8am - 5pm. Those interested in filing this claim must meet the following eligibility requirements:
· Lived in Iowa all or part of 2014, and live in Iowa now, and
· Your household income is less than $22,011, and,
· The rental unit you lived in is subject to property tax, and
· You (or your spouse) were born before 1950, or
· You (or your spouse) were age 18 to 64 as of December 31, 2014, and totally disabled. Totally disabled means you are unable to get a job paying more than $1,070 per month due to physical or mental disability which has lasted, or is expected to last for at least one year. Proof of disability must be included with your claim.
Married couples living together are considered one household and can file only one claim, combining both incomes. If they do not live together, they may file separate claims. Other persons living together who qualify for a reimbursement may each file a claim based on their income and share of rent paid.
CASI's Senior Advocates will be at several senior living complexes to assist residents during the upcoming month.
CASI's Senior Advocates are also available to assist older adults who live outside of these complexes and qualify for this claim. Individual appointments must be made in advance by calling CASI, at 563-386-7477. Proof of residency, income, disability (if applicable) and monthly rent amount along with landlord contact information are required at the time of appointment. CASI is located at 1035 West Kimberly Rd., Davenport, IA., 52806. For more information on this or any other program or service provided call, 563-386-7477 or visit www.CASISeniors.org
Electronic copies of the 2014 form can be located on the Iowa Department of Revenue's website, www.tax.iowa.gov. Iowa residents under the age of 50 looking for help may also contact Family Resources and Community Action for assistance.
