Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA)

Kiewit provides staff employees (and their spouses, if applicable) with a $300 credit in a lifestyle spending account to pay for eligible wellness-related expenses that the standard plan does not cover.  

Eligible expenses include expenses related to sports, camping, dance, fishing, fitness equipment, golf, health club memberships, running, self-defense courses, skiing and many more. 

How it works 

  • To receive credit, eligible expenses must be incurred during the tax year and be submitted to Manulife for processing.  
  • You have until Jan. 30 each year to submit expenses for the prior year. 
  • Credits not used during the tax year will be forfeited. 
  • LSA paid claims are added to your taxable income and reported on your T4.  
  • Receipts are required and claims can be submitted online by visiting manulife.ca/personal/sign-in.html.  
  • Paper claim forms are also available on the site (LSA policy number is 110663).  
  • You can check your LSA balance through the website or by calling Manulife at 1-866-220-1129.
