Your match comes down to whether you owned or rented your main home & your age bracket and the income tier linked with the program rules.
Which records should you pull before estimating?
Before estimation, the following information is the most useful:
- Your NJ-1040 for the cycle year — to locate the New Jersey gross income line used for NJ ANCHOR rebate eligibility

- If you rent: your lease or other proof of rent paid & whether the unit fits Qualified rental properties NJ ANCHOR
- Banking details for direct deposit
- ID.me access for identity verification
How do you estimate?

- Confirming the home type and that the address was your main residence on the cycle date
- Then locating the age category for that cycle
- Pulling the income figure from the NJ-1040 line referenced by the application
