When you change insurance plans, whether due to a new job, marriage, or any other reason, your HSA remains yours to use, regardless of your coverage under your spouse's insurance.

Absolutely! Your old HSA (Health Savings Account) is yours to manage, even if you find yourself under your spouse's insurance plan. This flexibility is one of the many benefits of having an HSA, allowing you to prepare for any qualified medical expenses that might come your way.

How to use and contribute to funds

Using your old HSA:

• Continue to use the funds in your HSA for eligible medical expenses.
• You can contribute to your HSA as long as you are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
• If your spouse's insurance is not an HDHP, you can still use your HSA, but you cannot contribute to it.

It's important to keep track of your HSA transactions and ensure that you use the funds for qualified medical expenses to avoid tax penalties.
