Commuter Benefits the Easy Way – With a Prepaid Benefits Card EC

QTAs are a smart move the more you save! In fact, you can save as much as 40% on transportation expenses just by participating in a QTA! The more you know about Qualified Transportation Accounts (QTAs),

What is a QTA? A QTA is a benefit program that enables pre-tax dollars to be used to pay for eligible transit and parking expenses related to your commute to work. IRS sets maximum monthly pre-tax deduction and spending limits, adjusted annually. For 2012, these are: –Transit Passes or Commuter Highway Vehicle – $125 –Parking – $240 –You can participate in either or both of these accounts; however, the funds are separate and you cannot transfer from one account to another. * Transit has traditionally had a lower monthly limit than parking, but was temporarily raised by Congressional Acts to be equal to parking in recent years. Unless acted upon again, this equality is expected to expire on 12/31/11, as reflected in the above rates.

What is a Qualified Transportation Account (QTA)? Reimbursement funds become available as they are deducted from the paycheck (like Dependent Care). You can change election amounts monthly. You can carry over unused amounts.

How the Card manages QTA Monthly Spending Limits The Card can hold both pre- and post-tax contributions. It’s recommended to add additional post-tax funds when average monthly QTA spending exceeds the monthly maximum. The Card automatically tracks and approves pre-tax monthly limits at each purchase. If the transaction exceeds the monthly limit: –The system attempts to pay the excess from post-tax funds. –If there are no elected post-tax funds (or this option is not offered), participant will need to pay the difference with another form of payment (i.e., for a monthly pass). –If not able to do this (e.g., at self-service kiosk), the transaction is declined.

Using a QTA for Transit Expenses The IRS issued a regulation, RR , requiring that card companies verify individual terminal IDs for transit purchases, but has postponed its implementation several times If this ruling takes effect in 2012, our system will accommodate and be compliant with the new rules, so you need only swipe your card for purchase at a valid terminal – it’s that easy!

QTA dollars can only be used for employee expenses. Reimbursement is not allowed for spouse’s or dependent’s parking expenses. Expenses must be paid.
