• If you are already enrolled in Medicare and then become eligible for an HSA, you can still use the funds in your existing HSA account.
• You can continue to withdraw from your HSA for qualified medical expenses, but you cannot contribute more once on Medicare.
• If you delay enrolling in Medicare, you can continue contributing to your HSA until you enroll.

It's essential to understand the rules and regulations governing HSAs and Medicare to make informed decisions about your healthcare savings and expenses. While you can have both an HSA and be on Medicare, there are restrictions that you need to navigate.

Yes, you can have a Health Savings Account (HSA) while being on Medicare, but it's important to grasp the limitations.
