Did you know?
- HSA contributions may come from pre-tax income.
- Withdrawals from your HSA are used to pay for qualified medical expenses.
- HSA balances carry over from year to year, building savings for medical needs over time.
- Your accumulating HSA balance gains tax-free interest until retirement at age 65. You may withdraw funds upon retirement and pay only normal income taxes.
- An HSA is owned by an individual, not a company or your employer. It does not terminate when employment ends. It is yours.
- HSA funds can eventually be used to pay for elder care or long-term care. You can even use HSA funds to purchase long-term care insurance, tax-free.
