Generally, it is for individuals covered under high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). The federal government normally sets a deposit limit each year that varies from year to year based on inflation. Both employees and employers can contribute, but only up to the limit prescribed by the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Account-holders can use the funds to pay qualified medical expenses such as medical, dental, prescription drugs, and vision care. Since the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act is now law, the latest add-on to the above list is over-the-counter medications without a prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>HSA Eligibility<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are eligible for an HSA if you are enrolled in a high-deductible health insurance plan (HDHP), among other requirements. Generally, employers offering high-deductible health plans tender the HSA account. Otherwise, if you have a high-deductible health plan, you can avail yourself of an HSA account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HSA contributions have a marked yearly limit. You are free to decide the amount you wish to deposit, but it must not exceed the per limit set by the government. An employer-provided HSA account lets you contribute to the fund straight from your payroll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use the debit card given along with your account to pay for eligible medical expenses. You can use the card for all eligible expenses, not included in your plan, excluding the insurance premium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HSA contribution limits are put on hold when the account holders opt for Medicare post the age of 65, i.e. you can no longer contribute to HSA after attaining the age of 65. However, holders can continue to use the HSA funds to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use the funds towards payment on non-eligible expenses, a tax deduction would be applicable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-194614\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"HSA Eligibility\" width=\"668\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/HSA-Eligibility.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Qualifying parameters for HSA Account<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Enrolled into qualified HDHP<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No health coverage availed<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Medicare not availed<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Someone else\u2019s tax return dependents are not qualified as well<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>HSA Contribution Limits Guidelines<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health savings account holders must adhere to the guideline of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.hellofurther.com\/Individuals\/Contributing_Funds\/HSA_Contribution_Limits\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">annually adjusted contribution limits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
