SmartBenefits employer enrollment

Since over half of all Metrocheks are used by employees as Metrorail farecards, the number of paper Metrochek cards employers purchase and distribute each month could be reduced by as much as 50%, with SmartBenefits. This saves time, reduces administrative costs, and streamlines the entire process of providing employees with the Metrochek transit benefit.

Note: In the National Capital Region, the Metrochek and SmartBenefits programs are administered by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and entities authorized by WMATA. WMATA provides Metrocheks and electronic SmartBenefits to employers who wish to provide the transit benefit to their employees for commuting to and from work. By applying, you agree that your company/agency is responsible for managing the program to comply with Internal Revenue Service regulations for qualified transportation fringe benefits under 26 USC 132(f). (See http://uscode.house.gov/usc.htm (US Code for 26 USC 132) and http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html (Regs. 26 CFR 1.132.)
