HSA ownership and funds remain yours

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a valuable tool for managing healthcare expenses. One common question people have is whether a work HSA stays with them if they change jobs.

The good news is that your HSA is yours to keep, regardless of job changes. Here’s why:

• HSAs are individual accounts owned by the account holder, not the employer.
• Any funds contributed to the HSA belong to you and can be used for eligible healthcare expenses.
• Even if you change jobs or stop contributing to the HSA, the funds in the account remain available for you to use.

Portability when switching jobs or careers

So, whether you're moving to a new job, starting your own business, or retiring, your HSA stays with you, providing a valuable source of funds for medical costs.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are not only a great way to save for healthcare expenses, but they are also portable, meaning they stay with you no matter where your career takes you. This portability is a significant advantage, as your HSA remains intact if you switch jobs, start your own venture, or even take a break for personal reasons.
