Metrochek Increase: Issue Update

January 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Announcements, Issue Update

CREA has learned that the Library is ready to recertify employees’ Smart Benefits amounts as a result of the recent Metro fare increase.

This recertification is for all employees who:

    -Are in the Smart Benefits program,
    -Ride the subway and/or bus and have had a fare increase, and
    -Are receiving less than the maximum of $105 in transit benefits.

Note: if you ride the MARC or VRE you are not affected.

The recertification form is attached. Be sure to calculate using the increased fare and attach a copy of the supporting documentation (same as you did for the recerfification). The completed form should be brought or sent to Cynthia Jackson-Durrah in LM-209.

The Library is still working with the Department of Transportation on how to raise the maximum benefit to $110. We will keep you informed as we learn more.

If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to your steward or governor, or to call CREA (7-7636).
