Can I Still Use My HSA If I Quit My Job?

Yes, you can still use your Health Savings Account (HSA) even if you quit your job. An HSA belongs to you, not your employer, so you have ownership of it regardless of your employment status.

Here are some important points to remember about using your HSA after quitting your job:

• You can continue to use the funds in your HSA for eligible medical expenses.
• You can use your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, and any dependents, even if you are no longer employed.
• If you have a new job with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), you can continue to contribute to your HSA and receive any contributions from your new employer.
• If you do not have a new HDHP, you can still use the funds in your HSA for medical expenses tax-free, but you cannot make new contributions to the account without an HDHP.
• If you are age 65 or older, you can use the funds in your HSA for non-medical expenses without penalty, but income tax will apply.

It is important to make sure you are aware of the rules and regulations surrounding HSAs to make the most of this valuable savings tool. Consult with a financial advisor or tax professional for personalized guidance on managing your HSA after leaving your job.

Absolutely! Your Health Savings Account (HSA) remains yours even after you quit your job. This means that you have the flexibility to use it as you see fit, independent of your employment status.
