As you are most likely aware, the Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters (ANCHOR) program provides benefits to both homeowners and renters who use their New Jersey property as their main residence and meet certain income limits. The 2025 ANCHOR benefit is based on your residency, income, and age in 2024.
This year, the state is automatically filing on behalf of most eligible residents under age 65 who are not receiving Social Security disability benefits. If you’re in this group, you should have received your ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter on August 13, 2025.
Need to Update Your Info or Opt Out?
If you received the letter but need to:
- Change your banking information
- Request a paper check
- Opt out of automatic filing
You must file your own application by September 15, 2025. To opt out, mark "No" on Line 5a of the ANC-1 application.
Didn’t Get a Letter?
No problem — you can still apply on your own. The deadline for self-filing is October 31, 2025.
For Seniors and Disability Benefit Recipients
If you are a senior or are collecting Social Security disability benefits, you can apply now using the PAS-1 combined application.
