Q: What are the eligibility requirements for this recovery fund program? A: The eligibility requirements set forth by ARRA and Washington’s SEEARP include: · Rebates are available to all Washington State consumers on a first come, first served basis until funds run out. Rebates are NOT available retroactively for purchases made before the official start of the program. Rebates are for the replacement of existing appliances in residential occupancies in Washington. Rebates are limited to one refrigerator and one clothes washer per household. Rebates are for appliances purchased from a Washington State store or where proof of payment of Washington State sales tax is evident on the receipt. To receive the state rebate for a refrigerator, proof must be provided that the replaced refrigerator was recycled, or at least decommissioned in accordance with state disposal laws. Rebates cannot be paid to commercial or institutional organizations, Community Action agencies, new construction, or landlords.
Q. Where, how and when do I apply for the rebate? A. The rebate application and instructions will be available on line at www.CashforAppliancesWA.com.
An important point is that the rebates are only good if you are REPLACING an existing appliance. For those of you who are looking at buying a home and purchasing a washer or refrigerator for the home will not qualify for the rebate UNLESS you are replacing an older existing model.
