What is a Health Savings Account?

What are an HSA's Benefits?

  • Contributions can be carried over from one tax year to the next.
  • HSA assets are portable
Who is Eligible for an HSA?
In general, an individual is eligible to contribute to an HSA for any month if he or she is covered under a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), is not also covered by any other health plan that is not an HDHP (with certain exceptions), is not enrolled in Medicare, and is not claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return.
