Commuter Benefits

Commuter Benefits are available to all regular part-time and full-time employees. You can enroll, change, or suspend your participation during any of the monthly enrollment cycles online at healthequity.com. You will need the last four digits of your Social Security number to gain access to the enrollment website. You can set up your enrollment to require re-enrollment each month, or you can set up an ongoing enrollment that will remain in effect until you choose to change or suspend it.

Eligible commuting expenses include:

• Mass transit: buses, trains, subways, vanpools, ferries
• Parking: lots, garages, parking facilities near your main work location or transit station
• Elections are made on a monthly basis. To participate for the following month, your elections need to be made by the 10th of the month.

You have several options for reimbursement of your parking expenses. When you enroll, you may select Pay Me Back, Pay My Provider or request a transit card.

• Order the specific pass, vouchers or tickets for your transit system. You may set up a recurring order or go online by the 10th of each month to make your election for the following month.
• Use a HealthEquity commuter debit card to purchase tickets from a vending machine or ticket window.

• Set up direct payment to your parking facility
• Use a HealthEquity parking card (works like a debit card)
• Pay upfront and submit your expenses for reimbursement from your account

Based on your elections, pre-tax deductions will automatically be taken from your paycheck. For the mass transit and parking benefits, the entire deduction will be taken from the second paycheck of the month in which you enroll.
