Millions of Americans eligible for up to $50,000 in free money to put toward your home – exact steps to apply

HOMEOWNERS in one state may be eligible for up to $50,000 to upgrade their home.

Alabama offers low-interest loans of up to $40,000 and grants of $10,000 for certain homeowners through the Section 504 Home Repair program.

The program is designed to help low-income and elderly residents who have difficulty obtaining a loan make necessary repairs to their homes.

To qualify, the participant’s income must not exceed a low limit, which varies by county in the state.

While all low-income homeowners can apply for the loan, the grant is reserved for people ages 62 and older.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the borrowed funds can be used to “repair, improve, or modernize homes or eliminate health and safety hazards.”

And the funding must be used to eliminate health and safety risks.

The loan term is 20 percent and is set at one percent regardless of interest rate changes.

To verify eligibility, applicants can check a USDA eligibility portal.

MORE PAYMENTS

While Alabama residents can get help with home repairs, other states are finding other ways to provide assistance.

Alaska continues to send out its Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) payments.

The $3,284 checks are a portion of the state’s 2022 energy profits.

While many have already been distributed, residents classified as “eligible, unpaid” are still waiting for their checks.

Anyone who can demonstrate this classification by September 6th will be paid out on September 14th.

Of the $3,284, $662 is a tax-free energy relief payment.

The remainder of the payment is taxed income.

And Virginia residents should soon receive rebate checks.

The state recently approved tax breaks between $200 and $400 as part of its budget negotiations.

Solo applicants would receive $200, co-applicants would receive $400.

And while it’s not a payment per se, Alabama residents are also paying less for groceries.

The state recently reduced its food tax rate from four to three percent.

A major bank has now agreed to pay out amounts to certain customers due to excessive fees.

And the IRS sends an urgent payment alert.
