Commuter Program The commuter program is another easy and convenient way to save on taxes while paying for predictable expenses. Full-time and part-time* employees — who pay to get to work — can sign up for the commuter program. You can sign up at any time of the year. There’s no specified enrollment period, but elections must be made by the 10th of the month for participation in the following month. And it’s so easy to use. Step 1: Enroll. Log in to www.wageworks.com. Click “Sign Me Up!” if you’re new to WageWorks. Sign up by choosing your provider and payment type. Or, enroll by phone. Call 1-877-WageWorks (1-877-924-3967) Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Step 2: That’s it. Just set it. And forget it. See how easy it is? Your pretax payroll deductions will be used to pay your commuter expenses that you defined when you enrolled. * Part-time employees with hire dates prior to December 1, 2011 will retain benefits eligibility in a grandfathered status through December 31, 2013. Part-time employees hired on or after December 1, 2011 are eligible for the employee assistance program and the 401(k) plan only. You have four options for qualified transportation Buy My Pass. This option is for public transportation commuters — bus, light rail, regional rail, streetcar, trolley, subway or ferry. When you sign up for the program, you can choose your transit provider and pass type. The rest is automatic. You’ll receive your transit pass or tickets in the mail every month, in time for the month they’re valid. If you have a SmartCard or other electronic pass, it will be reloaded automatically. Pay My Parking. Select your parking provider and monthly amount when you sign up, and the program pays your expenses automatically every month. You do nothing. Pay Me Back. If your expenses vary from month to month, or your provider only accepts cash, you can also send in a Pay Me Back form for reimbursement. Just print the form from the WageWorks website and mail or fax it with your receipts. Commuter Card. You can elect the Commuter Card if your parking provider accepts credit or debit cards. The Commuter Card is a MasterCard ® stored value card, which works just like a credit card at your parking facility. Not all commuter fees qualify. Exclusions include transportation costs that are not related to work, expenses for other family members, tolls, mileage, and taxis and limousines. For more information, please visit www.wageworks.com. Cancel the program at any time You can cancel your participation in the commuter program at any time. Your cancellation will become effective on the same schedule as signing up – cancellations must be made by the 10th of the month for cancellation the following month.
