Q. I didn’t get my ANCHOR benefit. What can I do?
— Hoemowner

A. The ANCHOR property tax benefit replaces the Homestead Benefit, and pays up to $1,500 for homeowners and $450 for renters depending on your income level.

If you didn’t receive a payment by May 3, you can check the status online or call (888) 238-1233.

Note that some residents have had trouble getting through on the hotline, something that was featured in an NJ.com special report about which state agencies do — and don’t — answer the phone.

The Treasury Department previously said some applications are taking longer to finalize because additional information was needed.

If you can’t get answers, send us an email and we can ask the Treasury Department to take a look.
