Eligibility rules and key things to remember

• HSAs are individually owned accounts, meaning the account belongs to you, not your employer.
• You are eligible to contribute to your HSA as long as you have a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
• Even if you switch jobs or insurance plans, as long as you are enrolled in an HDHP, you can continue contributing to your HSA.
• It's important to stay informed about contribution limits and any potential tax implications.

Here are some vital points to remember:

• HSAs belong to you, making them separate from your employer's control.
• To qualify for ongoing contributions, maintain enrollment in a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
• Changing jobs or switching insurance plans does not prevent you from contributing to your HSA as long as you have an HDHP.
• Be mindful of the annual contribution limits and the associated tax benefits that come with your HSA account.
