High-deductible Health Plan Eligibility
Two key factors determine if an HDHP is HSA-eligible.
Type of Coverage – When determining HSA eligibility and allowable contribution amounts, it is important to know the type of coverage your medical insurance provides.
Single – Single coverage or self-only coverage provide coverage for the individual only.
Family – Family coverage includes any multiple person policy including, but not limited to, family, self + 1, self + child.
Catch-up contributions – HSA owners who are age 55 or older in the year they make the HSA contribution may also be eligible to contribute up $1,000 above the normal limit. Under family coverage and when a spouse is also covered and age 55 or older, they may also contribute up to an additional $1,000.
