Health Savings Account FAQs

What is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)?

A health plan is an HDHP if it satisfies the annual deductible and out-of-pocket expense requirements for the current tax year. There are different requirements for plans that cover one person and those that cover a whole family. Visit our Retirement Service Center to find out whether your plan qualifies as an HDHP.

How do HSAs affect my taxes?

You can make tax-deductible contributions to your HSA and withdraw the funds tax-free to pay for qualified medical expenses. Visit our Retirement Service Center to learn more about how to determine which of your expenses are qualified medical expenses.

How can I use the money in my HSA?

You can use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses. These expenses must be paid by the HSA account holder, their spouse or their dependents, and they can’t be covered by insurance. Visit our Retirement Service Center to learn more about what kinds of things count as qualified medical expenses for an HSA.

How much can I contribute to my HSA?

The yearly contribution limits for an HSA depend on several factors, including your age and what percentage of the current year you’ve been covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). For details, visit our Retirement Service Center.
