Filing a Claim for Parking Expense Reimbursement ("Pay Me Back" Option)
If your eligible monthly parking expenses are unpredictable, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for your before-tax expenses by enrolling in the "Pay Me Back" option. With this option, you will need to pre-elect the estimated amount of your expenses for the upcoming month, pay for your expenses, and then submit a claim for reimbursement.
You have 180 days following the end of any particular benefit month you participated in the program to file claims for reimbursement from your "Pay Me Back" account; otherwise, it will be applied as a credit toward future payroll deductions.
There are two ways you can submit a claim for reimbursement for eligible Parking Account expenses:
- Print out and complete a claim form from the Transportation Spending Accounts Web Center via My Rewards. Then fax the form with any parking receipts to the Transportation Spending Accounts Call Center at (877) 353-9236, or mail the form to the address printed on the form. You can also have a claim form faxed or mailed to you by contacting the Transportation Spending Accounts Call Center at (877) 924-3967.
- If your parking provider does not provide receipts (for example, a parking meter) you can submit the claim online without any receipts. Visit the Transportation Spending Accounts Web Center via My Rewards, click on the "Pay Me Back" account link and then click "File Online Claim" for the month you want to submit your claim.
You can check the claim filing deadline for each month by visiting the Transportation Spending Accounts Web Center via My Rewards and clicking the "Account Activity" page for your account. If you have a balance remaining after the claim filing deadline, it will be applied towards future payroll deductions.
Please Note: Payroll deductions for the "Pay Me Back" option are limited to the before-tax legal limits. Reimbursements for "Pay Me Back" are made through direct deposit or check on a monthly basis.
