Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) • Unused money is not forfeited at the end of the year and is carried forward. • The account is yours to keep so that you can take it with you if you change jobs or retire. • If you have any money remaining after your retirement, you may withdraw it as cash. • H.S.A. dollars can be used to pay qualified medical expenses for yourself and family members. If you participate in the high deductible health plan (HDHP), you can set aside money in a Health Savings Account (HSA) before taxes are deducted to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses. • An HSA is similar to a FSA in that you are eligible to pay for health care expenses with pre-tax dollars. • Advantages of an HSA
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) • The maximum amount that you can contribute to an HSA in 2012 is $3,100 for individual coverage and $6,250 for family coverage. • If you reach age 55 or older before the end of the year, you may make additional “catch-up” contributions of $1,000
