Can a 65 Year Old Contribute to an HSA?

As a 65-year-old, you might be wondering if you can still contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). The good news is, you can contribute to an HSA even after the age of 65. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. If you are enrolled in Medicare, you are no longer eligible to contribute to an HSA.

2. You must have an HSA-qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP) in order to make contributions.

3. If you continue working past the age of 65 and are covered by an HDHP, you can still make contributions to your HSA.

4. After the age of 65, you can use the funds in your HSA for non-medical expenses without incurring the usual penalty, although you will still need to pay income tax on the amount withdrawn.

Overall, even at 65, an HSA can still be a valuable tool for managing healthcare costs and saving for the future.

If you're 65 and still wondering about your HSA contributions, rest assured that there's plenty of flexibility! You can contribute to your Health Savings Account unless you sign up for Medicare. It's important to stay informed about your health plan coverage and contribution limits.
