pension is only income. good for the month it comes in. and can be used to calculate the ability to pay a loan but not for net worth , when you die pension goes away like soc sec. no value. pa. doesn't have a senior citizen discount on property taxes.. rather they just make it too expensive for elderly to stay in their homes , jack up the school taxes to point they need to sell out because they can no longer afford to pay school taxes on their homes. it is so sad. rendell got in as governor running on putting in slot machines and using the money to reduce school taxes . Of course he took part of the money to full fill more social programs now wants to put it to full time pre school. in my mind it is paid day care for mothers. Some portion of the money will still go to school taxes but not a lot. It will make no difference to those who cannot afford to pay taxes. They will still lose their homes and have to move to cheaper housing.
