Frequently Asked Questions

​You can spend your HSA money tax-free, on out-of-pocket qualified medical expenses. These include co-payments for medical care, prescription drugs, medical bills not covered by insurance and more. The IRS determines what is considered a “qualified medical expense”. You can review the most updated list at IRS Publication 502.

​Visit the IRS website for the most current information on annual HSA contribution limits. Once you reach age 55, you can make an additional “catch-up” contribution each year until you enroll in Medicare. However, once enrolled, you are no longer eligible to make contributions to your HSA.

​To open an HSA you must have a high deductible health plan (HDHP). Check with your insurance carrier or employer to see if you qualify for an HDHP. In addition;

• No other health coverage except what is permitted by IRS Publication 969
• You cannot be enrolled in Medicare
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return

​When your certificate matures and your term is up, you’ll have a chance to withdraw your money. If you don’t withdraw, we’ll roll over your money into a new certificate with a term that matches your old one.

​For our Smart Growth Certificate, we have terms up to 84 months. For our traditional Certificate, terms go up to 72 months.

​There is no minimum balance required for our IRA savings accounts. For our IRA certificates, the minimum balance is $500 for a share certificate, and $100 for a Smart Growth certificate.

​A certificate is an option you can use with either a Roth or Traditional IRA, in order to save more money. It is an investment account, similar to a CD from a bank, that allows you to save more by leaving your money untouched.

With a Traditional IRA, your contributions are tax-deductible (on state and federal tax returns) for the year you make the contribution. When you make withdrawals in retirement, you’ll be taxed. Roth IRAs do not offer a tax break for contributions, but your earnings and withdrawals during retirement are typically tax-free.

​As of 2018, the maximum contribution is $5,500 for those under 50, and $6,500 for those 60 or older.
