Post-Tax and Pre-Tax Refunds from WageWorks

If your WageWorks account contained a post-tax balance as of June 30, that balance has now been mailed to your home address or sent to you via direct deposit. If you have not yet received it, please contact WageWorks.

If your WageWorks account contained a pre-tax balance as of June 30, that balance will be made available in your Edenred Commuter Benefit Solutions account during mid- to late-August.

The FISA-OPA Transit Benefit Unit has the list of participants to whom a post-tax deduction refund was issued. Please contact the FISA-OPA Transit Benefit Unit at transit@fisa-opa.nyc.gov to request the list of participants in your agency.

If you are an agency employee, please speak with your Transit Benefit Coordinator.
