To qualify for the Renters rebate program, you must either be at least 65 years of age, between 18 and 64 years old, disabled as defined by Social Security, or be at least 50 years old and reside in surviving spouse of a renter who at the time of his or her death qualifies for the rent rebate. All applications must have resided in Connecticut for any one-year period prior to filing an application for a rebate.
Acceptable expenses for qualified applicants are as follows: a computer printout from the property management company or resident services that shows all rent was paid in 2018 or a NOTARIZED letter from your landlord that proves all rent was paid in 2018. This letter should disclose only what the resident paid out-of-pocket and excludes any subsidy provided by a government agency. If this letter is not notarized it will not be accepted. Unlike in the past, RENT RECEIPTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED as a form of verification. There will be no exceptions!
Forms are available at the Wilson Library. If you have questions related to the Renters' Rebate Program please call the program hotline at 860-418-6377 or visit this page here.

Wilson supports literacy with monthly bulk book delivery to school teachers. A youth Lego club, and a newly formed tween and teen computer group meet weekly; and launching in 2019, a youth Girls Who Code Club. Many community groups convene in Wilson’s seven meeting rooms. The Computer Lab hosts groups and offers computer instruction including digital literacy classes in Spanish and weekly free tax preparation during tax season.
