  • HSAs are portable and can be transferred to a spouse's HSA without any tax implications.
  • Your spouse can use the transferred HSA funds for qualified medical expenses.
  • Transferring the HSA to your spouse's account requires proper documentation and notifying the HSA provider.

In summary, transferring an HSA to a spouse's account after leaving a job insurance is possible and relatively straightforward. It's essential to follow the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transfer and continue benefiting from the HSA funds.
