The cash reimbursement option for parking expenses is a solution intended to cover situations when you are unable to participate in the TRIP Parking Account using the parking voucher, the parking debit card or the pay-the-provider-directly option. This may work for you if you pay for your parking on a quarterly basis or a year in advance. To be reimbursed in cash, you must submit a claim for eligible expenses online on the Optum Financial website, or you can submit a paper claim to Optum Financial. Be sure to include your itemized receipts with the claim. Receipts must include the company name, dates of service and the amount paid. If using a check for documentation, you must include the front and back of the bank-cleared check, the check must be payable to a valid parking company, and the memo line should include the dates covered by the payment. Valid parking companies will include municipal parking.

Generally, you will have until June 30 following the year in which you incur an eligible expense to file and resolve a claim for reimbursement. In order for a claim to be deemed an eligible expense to be reimbursed, you must provide any pertinent documentation to establish that a claim is eligible for reimbursement.
