18 What are the advantages of an HSA?
Flexibility You can use the funds in your account to pay for current medical expenses, including expenses that your insurance may not cover, or save the money in your account for future needs, such as: Health insurance or medical expenses if unemployed Medical expenses after retirement (before Medicare) Out-of-pocket expenses when covered by Medicare Long-term care expenses and insurance Savings You can save the money in your account for future medical expenses and grow your account through investment earnings. Portability Accounts are completely portable, meaning you can keep your HSA even if you: Change jobs Change your medical coverage Become unemployed Move to another state Change your marital status

19 What are the advantages of an HSA?
Ownership Funds in your HSA belong to you and are always 100% vested. Unlike other medical spending accounts HSA funds can remain in the account year to year. There are no “use it or lose it” rules for HSAs. Tax Savings Contributions to your HSA can be made on a pre-tax basis. HSA earnings grow tax-free and, as long as the funds are used for qualified medical expenses, withdrawals from your HSA are also tax-free. If you spend any of your HSA money on non-qualified medical expenses prior to age 65, you will pay ordinary income tax on those funds and will have to pay a 20% IRS penalty.

20 Who is NOT eligible for an HSA?
Examples of “1st dollar” medical benefits that make someone ineligible for an H.S.A. per IRS guidelines *Medicare SSID (social security disability insurance) Tricare Coverage Full Medical Flexible Spending Arrangements (HRA) Adult Children – that do not qualify as a your tax dependent (IRS Publication 502) Covered by a spouses FSA or HRA plan (you cannot have an HSA if you are covered by your spouses plan that can pay for any of your medical expenses with an FSA or HRA before your HSA health plans deductible is met) *If an eligible person isn’t enrolled in Medicare, even though that individual has reached age 65, the person can contribute to an HSA until the month they enroll in Medicare. Also can contribute “catch up” contributions until enrolled in Medicare. (you can continue to use your HSA care expenses, but you can no longer make contributions to your HSA savings account)
