Medicare impact and key HSA rules

Here are some key points to remember:

• At age 65, you can use your HSA funds for any medical expenses without penalty, even if it's not for qualified medical expenses.
• If you enroll in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to an HSA, but you can still use the funds for qualified medical expenses tax-free.
• Contributions to your HSA made through payroll deductions are tax-free, providing a nice tax break for those still in the workforce.
