At what age is someone considered to be a senior citizen for the purpose of rebate eligibility?

To be eligible for a municipal electricity and gas use tax rebate, a person must be 65 or older during the rebate year. If you do not qualify by age, you may apply if you are a disabled citizen and have an Illinois Disabled Person’s Identification Card or have a Social Security disability award letter.
