CornerCONSTITUENT
Getting the proper tax relief... A gentleman reached out to Senator Norcross’ office for assistancewith his property taxes. Upon reaching out to the State Board ofTaxation, we discovered that the base year for his HomesteadRebate was set too high. Upon resetting his base year to its original2003 assessment, the gentleman was eligible for a rebate of over$1,200.
Caring for our seniors...A constituent had trouble transferring his father to a hospice carefacility closer to his home. After discussions with the facility onbehalf of the constituent, Senator Norcross’ office was able tosecure the transfer. This helped the constituent more easilysupervise his father’s care, and gave his father greater peace ofmind.
Providing for our military families...A recent widow was unsure of whether she was eligible forveteran's spouse benefits she was eligible for. Senator Norcross’office reached out to the Office of Veterans Affairs and as a result,the constituent now receives an additional $80 per month.

senior family member in their home.
The measure is intended to help baby
