When you leave your job, your Health Savings Account (HSA) remains intact, ready to support your healthcare needs.

Your HSA is portable, meaning you can take it with you wherever you go. You have full control over the funds, and you can continue utilizing them for qualified medical expenses.

How HSA funds and contributions work

• You can continue to use the funds in your HSA for eligible medical expenses.

• If you are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a new employer, you can keep contributing to your HSA.

• If you are no longer enrolled in an HDHP, you can still use the funds in your HSA for medical expenses, but you cannot make new contributions.

• You can also use the balance in your HSA to pay for health insurance premiums while receiving unemployment benefits.

Remember that funds in your HSA roll over from year to year and are not lost if you don't use them.

It's important to be aware of how your HSA works after you leave your job to make the most of this valuable resource.
