In February, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which included an amendment to increase the maximum amount of the transit benefit. Under this amendment, the maximum transit subsidy was increased to $230 per month effective on March 1, 2009. In Fiscal Year 2013, Congress did not extend the transit tax benefit under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and effective January 1, 2014 monthly transit subsidy benefits were reduced to a maximum of $130.00 per month.
