Lifestyle Spending Account

Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSA) are an employer-funded benefit that gives employees a set amount of money for personal wellness and lifestyle expenses. Think of it like a bonus set aside for you and dedicated to the expenses or experiences you value most. 

​​

The LSA is a reimbursement-only benefit. 

​

What does it cover?

An LSA’s eligible expense list is extensive, with a wide variety of options to choose from. There are three categories of expenses related to wellbeing: physical, financial and emotional. Eligible expenses include:​

• Standing workstation, walking pad, exercise equipment

• Gym memberships, fitness classes, sports lessons

• Home purchase expenses (down payment, closing costs, etc.)

• Pet care (walkers, grooming, etc.)

• Travel expenses, retreats, annual park passes

• Hunting and fishing licenses

• These are just a few of the eligible expenses! Have a question if something will be eligible? Email HRBenefits@greenstate.org. 

​

Access the Account

This benefit can be accessed through WEX. If you have a prior account with WEX, you will use your existing login. Otherwise, you can go to benefitslogin.wexhealth.com to create your new account; or, set up your account via the mobile app. 

​

Important information for new account setup: 

• Your information must match what your personal information from ADP.

  • Your account was more than likely set up with your personal email address that is current in ADP. 

• If you don't want to change your username, keep a record of the username the system generates for you during the setup process.

​

Check your balance 24/7 on your online account or mobile app.

​

Annual Contributions

LSAs are employer-funded accounts. Employees cannot contribute to these accounts. Starting Jan. 1, 2026, GreenState will contribute to your LSA each year:

• Full-Time employees: $200

• Part-Time employees: $100

• Seasonal employees: Not eligible

New hires will receive a prorated amount at the start of the quarter following their hire date, paid out at the end of that quarter. For example, if you’re hired in February, your contribution will be added in April. 

​

Additional Contributions: Service Milestone Awards

One of our favorite things to do is celebrate anniversaries! In 2026, we’ll start using your LSA to honor milestone anniversaries—1 year, 3 years, 5, 10, 15, and beyond. It’s our way of saying thanks and giving you the flexibility to spend on what matters most to you. 

​

Reimbursement Process​

Your LSA claims can only be reimbursed through the website or app. Simply snap a photo of your receipt and submit a claim for reimbursement.

​

How to submit a LSA claim for reimbursement

 

A debit card will not be issued for this account. For those who have a WEX benefits card for other products, you cannot use it for LSA claims.​

​

Approved claims default to check payment if direct deposit is not set up. You can set up direct deposit through your WEX account or claims default to check payment. 

• Direct deposit: 2–3 business days

• Check: 2–8 business days

• Minimum for checks: $25

​

Reimbursements will appear as a monthly Taxable Fringe Benefit (TFB) on your paystub. GreenState is pleased to share they will be covering the taxes (through a gross up) of the TFB.

 

Rollover: Funds do roll over each year, though claims for 2026 are all due by Dec. 14, 2026.
