Having a better understanding of HSAs and Social Security can help you make the most of your healthcare savings.

Here's what you need to know:

• Social Security recipients can contribute to an HSA if they meet the following criteria:
• Enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP)
• Not enrolled in Medicare
• Not claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return
• Individuals on social security can contribute up to the annual limit set by the IRS

Yes, even if you're a recipient of Social Security benefits, you can still enjoy the perks of contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), provided you follow a few guidelines.
