health savings account
         How the Health Savings Account works

This plan is called a Health Savings Account (HSA) because you set up a
special tax-free bank account to pay your medical out-of-pocket
expenses. You will receive a debit card, so when you need to pay a
doctor’s bill, a prescription or other covered expense, you will pay with
your HSA card.

Tax Savings
  • All contributions are tax-free.
  • You may contribute via payroll deduction, to the 2021 total limit of
    $3,600 for Single and $7,200 for Family. (Age 55+: extra $1,000
    catch-up.)
  • Your payroll deduction contributions avoid Federal, State and FICA
    taxes.
  • Contributions outside payroll don’t avoid FICA taxes.
  • Contribution dollars that you don’t spend during the year still avoid
    taxes.

Rules
  • Your balance rolls over year to year so you can never lose your
    money.
  • You do not have commit to a certain dollar amount before the year
    begins.
  • You may start, stop or change contributions during the year, per your
    needs.
  • You may use your HSA dollars to pay dental and vision copays.
  • You may use your HSA dollars to pay dependent medical expenses.

   may contribute is $5,000 (or $2,550 if married and filing separately).
