Why do we require your last 4?

Good question. The Department of Transportation requires it on page 1 of the Mass Transit Benefit Program Application.

Here is their fine print: "PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT: This information is solicited under authority of Public Law 101-509. Furnishing the information on this form is voluntary, but failure to do so may result in disapproval of your request for the mass transportation fringe benefit. The purpose of this information is to facilitate timely processing of your request, to ensure your eligibility, and to prevent misuse of the funds involved...Partial social security number (SSN - last four numbers) will be used for record keeping purposes."

We take your privacy very seriously

That is why your last 4 will only ever be visible on your application, not on the registration page (displayed as four dots) and not in the database where it is encrypted into this format: 3hyNSvu3qXXLgjJWBF4IuodtgbK6/qYoReqQ35kXe/c=.
