What should I do when I have some of my Transit Benefit left over?

You must adjust your benefit the following month. When employees enroll in the Transit Benefit Program, they must certify that the benefit amount requested does not exceed their actual monthly commuting costs. To do otherwise constitutes a false statement. The statement on the agency enrollment form reads, “This certification concerns a matter with the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States. Making a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to criminal prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, providing for a fine and imprisonment. Agency disciplinary actions up to and including dismissal may also be pursued.”
