Can You Make HSA Contributions While on Medicare?

If you are wondering whether you can contribute to your HSA while on Medicare, the answer is no. Once you enroll in Medicare, you are no longer eligible to contribute to your Health Savings Account. However, you can still use the funds that are already in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses. Let's break it down further:

When you turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare, you can no longer contribute to your HSA.

Here are some key points to remember:

• While on Medicare, you cannot make contributions to your HSA.
• If you continue working past the age of 65 and delay enrolling in Medicare, you can still make contributions to your HSA.
• You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses even after enrolling in Medicare.

It's important to note that once you enroll in Medicare at age 65, your ability to contribute to your Health Savings Account (HSA) ceases. However, there's a silver lining—you can still utilize the funds accumulated in your HSA to cover qualified medical expenses such as deductibles, co-pays, and even certain over-the-counter medications.
