The City of Madison Heights Yard Services Program runs from April through November each year, which provides lawn care services only for eligible senior citizens and disabled residents.
Applications and corresponding paperwork must be turned in in person by the person living in the home. You MUST call to make an appointment to drop off your completed paperwork. NO WALK INS will be allowed. Mailed/drop box applications will not be allowed.
Please HAVE YOUR INCOME TAXES COMPLETED AND gather all YOUR paperwork before you MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
*Please bring copies of your paperwork. WE NO LONGER MAKE COPIES.
Therefore, in order to qualify for the program, all participants must complete a new application and income verification every year, be at least 62 years of age or disabled as defined by the Social Security Act (receiving SSI or SSD) and also occupy the home. If a non-senior/non-disabled individual lives in the home, applicants will not qualify for the program. In addition, we need written proof of the total gross annual income of all persons living in the house over 18 years of age, and a list of all persons residing in the household regardless of age. Photo ID is also required.
Every year we are required to re-verify all participants’ income. - *Income limits are current and are subject to change by the Federal Government.
Required income verification includes but is not limited to:
Current Year's Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim tax form (MI 1040 CR). If any income is listed on lines 14-27 we need another paper (for instance, a bank statement showing interest) as verification of income.
Social Security Award Letter stating gross amount you are receiving in the current year. See attached instructions if you need to obtain a copy of Award Letter.
Proof of current pension, wages, interest, annuity, dividend, capital gains/losses or other third party verification of income.
Signed Affidavit Form if not filing taxes for the Current Year (Form provided upon request).
We may need more paperwork than what is listed above once we look over your individual paperwork.
