*New Hires, New HSA participants and Qualifying life event participants, please see section below regarding HSA Company contributions.

New Hires

New hires may contribute to their HSA once they become benefit eligible. However, the employee will not receive any Company money during the first calendar year of participation.  In 2024, the employee will then be eligible to receive the initial 2024 Company money and the 2024 employer match (as long as the employee is contributing at the appropriate level to the 2024 HSA plan).

New HSA Participants and Qualifying Life Event Participants
New participants to the HSA in 2023 may contribute to their HSA. However, the employee will not receive any Company money during the first calendar year of participation.  In 2024, the employee will then be eligible to receive the initial 2024 Company money and the 2024 employer match (as long as the employee is contributing at the appropriate level to the 2024 HSA plan).
 
Qualifying Life Events During the Year
If an HSA participant has a qualifying life event during the year and changes their HSA coverage (for example changes their HSA plan contribution from Employee Only to Employee + Spouse), they may continue to contribute and receive appropriate company match, however their initial employer seed money provided in January 2023 will not be modified.

HSA Details

HSA Bank administers your HSA account.  Any balance remaining in your HSA rolls over to the next year, and if you leave or retire from the Company, the money in your account goes with you.  It is never taxable if it is used for qualified medical expenses at any time in the future.

  • Contributions to your HSA are taken out of your paycheck before taxes – so the amount of taxes withheld are reduced.
  • You will receive an HSA Debit card which draws money directly from your HSA. Use your debit card to pay for services at the doctor’s office, at your local pharmacy, eyeglass retailer or other locations where you purchase medical-related items or services
  • The Company pays for the basic banking fees, and the employee is responsible for any additional fees.  Please see attached fee schedule for details.
