        **Use the landlord verification letter if you don't have your rent receipts or a payment history and your landlord would like                  information on what needs to be provided.  This form needs to be filled out by the landlord. 

One you complete the application with the Town of Manchester: Senior, Adult & Family Services, the Office of Policy & Management, state of CT receives your application.  Paper checks are then sent out in the month of November.

We have several options to submit your application.  You can call our office at 860-647-3096 and make an appointment or simply do a phone intake; at that time we will send you a signature sheet to complete and include a self addressed stamped envelope for you to return to our office which you can include the required documentation.

You can email our office at SAF@manchesterct.gov if you have questions or would like to scan your documents.

We also have a locked drop box that is at the back of the building, it is checked periodically throughout each week day.  After you contact our office, you can leave your confidential documents with your contact information in an envelope and mark it "For Renter's Rebate".

If you move or change your mailing address before the Renter's Rebate checks are sent out at the end of October, please call our office to complete an address change as Renter's Rebate checks do not get forwarded through the mail.  They will go back to the State of Connecticut, Office of Policy & Managment. 

Unfortunately if you miss the filing deadline, there are no extensions to file for the program.
