Received my ANCHOR check today

Tweet

ANCHOR is a property tax relief program here in New Jersey. Homeowners receive like $1500 and renters get $450. It has been in effect for a few years. The first year I had to apply and received the money directly deposited into my checking account. Last year I didn't have to re-apply and the money was again deposited directly. This year I didn't have to re-apply and. . . I've been waiting on that deposit. They started going out weeks ago. I started questioning whether I was supposed to apply again. I checked the status 2 weeks ago and it said that my application was being processed. Okay. I've been checking my account balance every morning and no joy. I checked the mail today and discovered a paper check from the state of NJ. Yup it was the ANCHOR payment. I have no clue why they sent me a check when my banking information hasn't changed but I am happy to receive it in any case. Every little bit helps.
