Frequently Asked Questions | |
| Question: How do I get reimbursed for commuter expenses? | Answer: Employees must use their Ameriflex Debit Mastercard® to pay for eligible transit expenses. Per IRS regulations, Ameriflex can only process manual claims for parking expenses -- not transportation expenses. The IRS does not permit reimbursements for expenses older than 180 days from the time at which the expense was incurred. |
| Question: Can transit and parking funds be moved from one account to the other as needed? | Answer: No. Transit funds and parking funds are not interchangeable. They must be kept as separate accounts. |
| Question: Why can’t my spouse use my transit benefits or have their own card? | Answer: The transit benefit can only be used by the employee to travel to and from work. |
