Health Savings Account
If you enroll in the SavingsPlus HSA plan, you have the option of making pre-tax contributions to a Health Savings Account (HSA). The HSA is administered by Inspira. Following are important details about participating in a Health Savings Account.
Important information about participating in the HSA Option - See Publication 969 for additional IRS information related to Health Savings Accounts:
|
HSA as a pre-tax savings vehicle* |
- You can use the money to pay for eligible health care expenses today or save it for the future.
- Distributions used for expenses other than qualified medical expenses are subject to both taxation and an additional 20% penalty unless you are at least age 65 or permanently disabled.
- Any unused funds, including the Broadridge contributions, are yours and can be used for expenses into retirement.
|
Broadridge Contribution |
- Broadridge makes a quarterly contribution to your HSA based on your coverage election under the SavingsPlus Plan, totaling up to:
- $500 for the year if you cover yourself only
- $1,000 if you cover at least one other dependent
- The Broadridge contribution is provided quarterly. You will receive the contribution the calendar quarter after you enroll.
- You do not have to make your own contributions to the HSA to receive the Broadridge contribution
- If you want to receive the Broadridge quarterly contribution for the Health Savings Account (HSA) make sure you do not “waive” this coverage, either:
- Set your goal amount to make your own contributions to the HSA, and you will automatically receive the quarterly Broadridge contribution; or
- Elect and set your annual goal to $0 establishing no contributions being made by you, however this will allow the quarterly Broadridge contributions to be made
|
Opening a Inspira HSA |
- You must open a Inspira HSA to receive the Broadridge contribution and make your own contributions through your Broadridge pay (this step must be completed in the benefits enrollment portal – through the login button on the homepage)
- If you have questions about how to “agree” to open a Inspira HSA, please contact the Benefits Service Center, 1-877-631-0059
|
Eligibility to participate in an HSA* |
- Eligibility to participate in an HSA is linked to your election under the SavingsPlus Plan option, which is a qualified high deductible health plan.
- In addition, under the Internal Revenue code, to contribute to an HSA you:
- Cannot have other coverage that pays for out-of-pocket health care expenses before you meet your plan deductible
- Cannot be enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare
- May not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s federal tax return
- Cannot participate in a full Health Care FSA. For associates enrolled in the SavingsPlus Plan option, Broadridge offers a Limited Purpose Health Care FSA (LPFSA) that can be used to pay for dental and vision expenses, but not medical expenses (details above)
|
IRS Limits* |
- The IRS sets the maximum contribution limits to your HSA each year.
- For 2025 the IRS limits (including the Broadridge contribution) are:
- $4,300 for Individual coverage (2024 Individual coverage $4,150)
- $8,550 for Family coverage (2024 Family coverage $8,300)
- Eligible individuals who are 55 or older by the end of the tax year can increase their contribution limit up to $1,000 a year
|
Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account |
- If you enroll in the SavingsPlus HSA, you may also contribute to a Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA) in addition to a Health Savings Account.
- The LPFSA can be used for dental and vision expenses only.
- Note that with the LPFSA, you must use your funds each year or any unused balance does not carry over.
- Compare HSAs and FSAs
