10. a. (1) The director shall determine the amount of the rebate or credit, if any, that shall be provided for each claimant pursuant to P.L.1990, c.61 (C. 54:4-8.57 et al.) based upon the information provided by the individual applicant in the application or from any other information as may be available to the director and shall notify the applicant of the determined amount in the form of the homestead rebate check or credit or in any other manner as the director may deem appropriate. Subject to the provisions of the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law, R.S.54:48-1 et seq., such notification shall finally and irrevocably fix the amount of the rebate or credit unless the applicant, within 90 days after having been given notice of such determination, shall apply to the director for a hearing, or unless the director shall redetermine the same. After such hearing the director shall give notice of the final determination to the applicant.

(2) An applicant for a homestead rebate or credit authorized under this act who is aggrieved by any decision, order, finding, or denial by the director of all or part of that applicant’s homestead rebate or credit may appeal therefrom to the New Jersey Tax Court in accordance with the provisions of the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law, R.S. 54:48-1 et seq.

b. The appeal provided by this section shall be the exclusive remedy available to an applicant for review of a decision of the director in respect to the determination of all or part of a homestead rebate or credit authorized under this act.
