Mayor Dalina called the mailing of the first StayNJ checks a major milestone for seniors and their families.
“As mayor of this great township, I have focused my efforts on affordability while maintaining the amenities and services that make our town special. StayNJ helps ensure that residents of our community can enjoy all that Monroe has to offer, now and for years to come,” Mayor Dalina said. “A substantial reduction in property taxes helps seniors – many of whom are on fixed incomes – stay near their family and friends.”
StayNJ reimburses applicants for 50% of their property tax bills, up to a maximum of $13,000, with a 2025 benefit cap of $6,500. To qualify, you must have owned and lived in a home for the full 12 months of 2025 and have an income below $500,000.
According to the NJ Division of Taxation, Stay NJ benefits are calculated after ANCHOR and Senior Freeze benefits are determined and are issued quarterly. Payments are made in equal quarterly installments rather than a lump sum.
The NJ Division of Taxation announced on Monday, Feb.9, that it began issuing first-quarter payments for the 2024 Stay NJ Program. Eligible recipients who applied will receive their paper checks in the mail within the next few weeks.
If you do not receive your quarterly StayNJ check in the next few weeks, you can check on the status of your benefit by visiting the Property Tax Relief Benefit Status page on the NJ Taxation website at Property Tax Relief Benefit Status - NJ Taxation.
Mayor Dalina and Monroe Township remain committed to advancing affordability initiatives and supporting programs that ensure seniors can continue to call Monroe home for years to come.
