Apply for advance payment of reimbursement of fare losses on local and long-distance services

Service Description

The Federal Office of Administration (BVA) reimburses transport companies in local and long-distance transport for fare losses incurred for the transportation of severely disabled persons and their accompanying persons.

They can receive an advance payment for the current calendar year amounting to 80 percent of the most recently determined reimbursement amount (final payment). The advance payment is paid half on July 15 and half on November 15.

If refunds have already been received from the Federal Office of Administration, applications for advance payment can be submitted:

  • Transport companies,
  • transport associations and
  • local transport organizations.

If you have switched from state reimbursement to federal reimbursement, you can, in exceptional cases, receive an advance payment based on your last final payment notice.

You cannot receive advance payments.

You must repay the advance payments if you do not submit the required proof by the deadline.
