2. Click on "Profile Summary" under the "Accounts" menu.

What You Need to Know:*

Your choice of beneficiary makes a big difference in how your HSA will be treated after your death.

 

If you don’t designate a beneficiary for your HSA before you pass away, the assets in your account will be distributed to your estate and will be included on your final income tax return.

 

If your spouse is your designated beneficiary, your account remains an HSA, and your spouse will become the owner. He or she can use the money tax-free1 for qualified healthcare expenses – even if not enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. Should your spouse be younger than 65, take a distribution of funds and use them for something other than qualified healthcare expenses, he or she will pay a 20% penalty tax on the amount withdrawn plus income taxes.

 

If someone other than your spouse is the designated beneficiary, your HSA will end on the date of your death. Your beneficiary will receive a distribution and the fair-market value becomes taxable income to the beneficiary. There is one exception to the rule, however. Your beneficiaries have up to one year after you die to use the money tax-free1 for any qualified healthcare expenses you incurred after you opened the account, as long as you keep the receipts and the expenses hadn’t already been reimbursed by the HSA.

 

Please note: If you designate a non-spouse primary beneficiary, you may be required to submit a beneficiary form with the notarized consent of your spouse.

HSA Bank provides you with multiple options to pay for an expense that exceeds the HSA Debit Card daily limit of $5,000.* Your options include:

 

1. You can pay for an expense with your external, personal account or with a credit card and then reimburse yourself by scheduling HSA transfers within the HSA Bank Customer Website (Note: there is a daily transfer limit of $2,500 to safeguard against fraudulent activity, so multiple transfers will be required for amounts above $2,500).

 

2. You can work with your provider (or hospital) to make debit card payments over multiple days.

 

3. You can use our online Bill Pay system to pay a provider. To access Bill Pay, log into the Customer Website and click on "Pay Bill / Contribute." (Note: there is no daily limit to pay a provider.)

Please note: Your transactions are limited to your available cash balance.

 

*Your HSA Debit Card provides access to your HSA funds at point-of-sale with signature or PIN and at ATMs for withdrawals.

The number of debit card transactions allowed per day is limited and varies based on how the card is used or types of transactions processed. These limits exist as a safeguard against fraudulent activity. For more information, please call the number on the back of your HSA Debit Card.
