How long does it take to begin receiving the Mass Transportation benefit?
Normally the application and approval process takes approximately 30 workdays. DOT accepts program applications from installation POCs only between the 20th and 25th of each month, for processing the following month (e.g., applications sent to DOT between April 20th 25th will be processed and fare media will be shipped in late May for distribution beginning in June). Check with your installation POC to find out when to submit applications to the POC.
