Who Qualifies for a Family HSA?

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a smart way to save for medical expenses while enjoying tax benefits. When it comes to a family HSA, there are specific qualifications that need to be met in order to open and contribute to one.

So, who qualifies for a family HSA? In general, to be eligible for a family HSA, you need to:

• Be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) as a family
• Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return
• Not have any other health coverage that is not an HDHP
• Not be enrolled in Medicare

With these criteria in mind, many families can benefit from having a family HSA to help cover medical expenses for the entire household.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a fantastic financial tool, especially for families looking to save money on healthcare costs. To be eligible for a family HSA, you should be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) that covers your entire family. Additionally, you must not be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return, must avoid having any other non-HDHP health coverage, and can’t be enrolled in Medicare.
