Health Savings Account (HSA)
- HSAs are individually‐owned bank accounts
– The account belongs to you so only you can decide how to spend it – Both you and your employer can contribute funds – Money left in your account carries over from year to year – It remains yours even if you leave the university or retire
- HSAs are used to help pay for both current and/or future health care expenses
– You can withdraw money tax‐free for qualified health expenses (non‐qualified expenses are subject to taxes and penalties) – Or you can save funds to pay for future expenses
- A HSA is triple tax‐advantaged
– Contributes are made pre‐tax and funds can grow tax free and withdrawals for qualified health expenses tax‐free
- Who is eligible for an HSA? Anyone who is:
– Covered by a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP) – Not enrolled in Medicare – Not covered under other health insurance coverage, including a spouse’s plan (unless a qualified HDHP) – Not another person’s tax dependent
