HSA contributions after age 65

Yes, you can contribute to an HSA (Health Savings Account) even after you turn 65.

While many people may think that once they reach age 65, they can no longer contribute to their HSA, this is a common misconception.

When you turn 65:

HDHP eligibility versus Medicare enrollment

• You can still make contributions to your HSA if you are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
• If you are enrolled in Medicare, you are no longer eligible to contribute to an HSA. You can, however, continue to use the funds in your existing HSA for qualified medical expenses.

Absolutely! Even after you turn 65, your ability to contribute to an HSA (Health Savings Account) remains intact as long as you’re covered by a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
