Benefits corner: Over age 65- can I still contribute to my HSA?

Apr 27, 2015 | Intercom

I am age 65 and covered under a High Deductible Health Plan, can I still contribute to my HSA?

As long as you have not enrolled in Medicare Part A or B you are an eligible individual and may contribute to your HSA. Once you enroll in Medicare you may no longer contribute to your HSA. For most individuals this means you will no longer be eligible when you turn 65. You lose eligibility as of the first day of the month you turn 65.
