Commuter Benefits

Through our partnership with Optum, you can pay for your parking and/or public transit expenses with pre-tax dollars.

How do I enroll? 

• Log in to Optum to manage this benefit. 

• Provide your Social Security number, zip code, and birth date to verify your eligibility. 

• Please note, it can take up to 2 weeks after your start date for your employment information to be loaded into Optum Financial. 

Placing an Order and Payroll Deductions

Once your account is created, team members can opt-in or out of this benefit at any time before the monthly order deadline, which falls on the 10th of every month. For example, if you are looking to place or cancel your commuter order for the month of June, the deadline to do so would be May 10th. If this is your first time placing an order, your commtuer card can take up to 3 weeks to be delivered. 

Payroll deductions will generally occur on the first pay date of the month. 

• If you are paid semi-monthly, payroll deductions will always occur on the 15th of the benefit month (i.e. June orders will be taken out of your June 15 paycheck)

• If you are paid biweekly, payroll deductions will vary slightly but generally fall on the first or second Friday of the month, whichever coincides with payday
