You can get the Homestead Credit when you do your state income taxes.

Make sure you include Schedule H-EZ or Schedule H.

Renters must also include a Rent Certificate.

If not and it looks like you should have gotten the money, you can still get the money as far back as 2000. File Form 1X and Schedule H (and a Rent Certificate if needed).

There are different forms for each year:

2003	Form 1X	Schedule H	Rent Certificate
2002	Form 1X	Schedule H	Rent Certificate
2001	Form 1X	Schedule H	Rent Certificate
2000	Form 1X	Schedule H	Rent Certificate

If you're not required to file a state income tax return, you can send in Schedule H by itself.
