Answers to commonly asked questions about commuter benefits.
You can enroll or make changes to your commuter benefits at any time. However, it takes some time to process these updates. To ensure funds get loaded correctly at the beginning of the next month, you'll need to enroll or make any changes by the 19th of the month.
If you miss the enrollment deadline, you'll still be enrolled, but funds won't be loaded on your card until the start of the following month.
Unused commuter benefit funds roll over month to month, but are not refundable. That means once the money is in your Jawnt Pass account, it'll stay there until you use it.
However, updated IRS guidance allows the transfer of pre-tax funds between transit and parking. For example, if you've started taking more transit to work and have accumulated excess funds in your parking balance, you can reallocate funds from your pre-tax parking balance to your transit balance in Jawnt.
