Enroll as a SmartBenefits employer

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.

While WMATA is pleased to assist employers with the establishment of their SmartBenefits program, it is the responsibility of each employer to ensure that their program complies with all IRS requirements. We therefore recommend that each employer discuss their program with their own tax advisor to ensure compliance with IRS requirements.

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.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/ (Regs. 26 CFR 1.132.)
