New Jersey has lost more than 7,200 residents at long-term care facilities to covid19, this is why they are among the first in line to get vaccinated. Governor Phil Murphy, joined by New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli and CVS Health Regional Director Kat Kingston, Monday visited Roosevelt Care Center in Old Bridge to mark the launch of the state’s vaccination effort of residents and staff of long-term care facilities.

The vaccinations are being administered pursuant to the Federal Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, a partnership between the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), CVS, and Walgreens to facilitate on-site covid vaccination services. Through the Federal pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, New Jersey already has 291 long-term care facilities scheduled and over 83,000 residents and staff scheduled to receive vaccinations through the beginning of February 2021, with more sites to be added in the coming weeks. These vaccination protocols will help ensure we come through this unprecedented public health emergency together and return to living our lives with our families and friends.

The deadline to apply for the Senior Freeze Property Tax Reimbursement is extended againeligible applicants now have until February 1st to apply for relief. State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio announced today that New Jersey property owners who are eligible for the Senior Freeze property tax reimbursement program will have an additional month to apply for the relief program, with the application deadline now being extended until February 1, 2021. New Jersey’s Senior Freeze program reimburses eligible senior citizens and disabled individuals for increases in property taxes or mobile home park site fees on their principal residence.

The covid-19 pandemic has presented ongoing challenges in obtaining the paperwork needed from local governments in order to complete the application, prompting Treasury’s Division of Taxation to extend the deadline for a second time.

In October, Treasury initially announced that the deadline was being extended from November 2, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Applications for the current 2019 Senior Freeze were mailed in February to the last address taxpayers filed with.

Anyone who did not receive a booklet should contact the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s Senior Freeze Property Tax Reimbursement Information Line for assistance at 1-800-882-6597 (The U.S. Postal Service does not forward application booklets). 

The Division of Taxation began issuing payments on October 15 and will continue to do so on an ongoing basis as applications are received. Applicants can check the status/amount of their Senior Freeze reimbursement for 2017, 2018, and 2019 online. 

The year 2020 has most definitely been an unpredictable ride between the pandemic, protests and very difficult life events. So now, as we embrace the upcoming year, 2021, let us all be positive and cheery with shining spirits and aspirations for the future. We should vow to not let the negative times affect us in looking forward to the future and working hard to achieve our dreams and ambitions. So, let us all embrace the new year with much-needed hopes and happiness.

If you’re looking for a way to celebrate the end of one of the most tumultuous years in recent memory whether you’re looking to attend an event while following coronavirus precautions or just want to find a fun way to ring in the new year virtually, there is sure to be something right for you. Check out my link below. Also, February we will continue my newsletters with my monthly recipe.

Please accept the Rooney Family’s warmest wishes for a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Last month I brought about some new legislation which is the idea to revive New Jersey’s vintage license plate. It was recommended by a constituent. Various states have brought back retro license plates and found there to be great demand. In fact, these plates have proven to be very profitable.
Most New Jersey residents now plan on getting the coronavirus vaccine. New Jersey will receive about 130,000 doses of the coronavirus vaccine in each of the next three weeks, Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday. Approximately 2 million residents have signed up through the state’s portal as of Friday. That was up slightly from the 1.8 million who registered as of Jan. 20. Approximately 30,000 have scheduled vaccine appointments, state health officials said Friday. You can check the states dosages administered by checking the states dashboard.
