CCSD Team,
CCSD is making your healthy habits and well-being a top priority by providing the opportunity to participate in the Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) managed by HealthEquity. Employees will have up to $1500 to be reimbursed for eligible Health & Wellness expenses starting from August 4, 2023 through December 8, 2023 & January 1, 2024 through May 24, 2024.
The LSA is an employer funded program. Employees please be aware that the money reimbursed is taxable income.

The total amount reimbursed will be reported on your annual W-2. Please check with your tax preparer or the IRS if you have questions about how to treat it on your annual income taxes.
