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.
