Do I Lose My HSA at the End of the Year?

As the end of the year approaches, many people wonder about the fate of their HSA (health savings account). The good news is that unlike other types of accounts, you do not lose your HSA at the end of the year. Here's why:

Your HSA funds rollover from year to year, so any money left in your account at the end of the year stays with you. This is one of the key benefits of an HSA - the flexibility and long-term savings it offers.

There are a few important points to keep in mind regarding your HSA at the end of the year:

• Unlike FSAs (flexible spending accounts), there is no 'use it or lose it' rule with HSAs.
• You can continue to contribute to your HSA year after year, building up your savings for future healthcare expenses.
• If you change jobs or health plans, your HSA stays with you - it is completely portable.
• You can use your HSA funds for qualified medical expenses at any time, even if you no longer have a high deductible health plan.

So, rest assured that your HSA is a valuable asset that you can continue to grow and utilize for your healthcare needs.

As the year comes to a close, many people start to worry about their HSA (Health Savings Account) and whether they will lose any unused funds. Fortunately, there's no need to fret. Your HSA is designed to roll over, allowing you to keep any remaining balance at the end of the year. This unique feature sets it apart from other accounts like FSAs which have a 'use it or lose it' rule.
