Account Administration
Each participant will receive an individual eTRAC Prepaid MasterCard or Beniversal Prepaid MasterCard. Upon activation of the card, the participant can use it to pay for eligible workplace commuting expenses. When a card is not used, participants can submit a request for reimbursement and our administrative specialists will generate reimbursement by check or direct deposit, accompanied by a detailed explanation of benefit statement.
Cards for Commuter Benefit Plans
The eTRAC Card and Beniversal Card is an easy way for participants to access transit and parking funds at the point-of-sale to pay for eligible workplace commuting expenses at a qualified merchant.
Reimbursement of Workplace Commuting Expenses
When the card is not used to pay for an eligible expense, a participant can request reimbursement by completing a claim in one of the following ways:
| • | Smartphone users can submit claims-on-the go with the BRiMobile app. |
| • | They can log into the participant website, complete the claim form and then either upload it to Benefit Resource or print it so it can be faxed or mailed to Benefit Resource (if allowed by your plan). |
| • | Fax or mail a completed paper claim form to Benefit Resource. |
Participants can opt to receive reimbursements via direct deposit or check (both are accompanied by an explanation of benefits statement).
