Am I eligible for an HSA?

If you have an HSA-qualified health plan, whether through an employer or one you've purchased on your own from a healthcare marketplace or broker, chances are you can open an HSA. Check that the following are also true: 

  • You must have a valid email address, Social Security number and a primary residence in the United States. 

  • You must be covered by the HSA-eligible health plan on the first day of the month in which you plan to start contributing to your HSA. 

  • You can’t be covered by any other type of health plan, including Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B. 

  • You can’t be covered by TRICARE. 

  • You can’t have used your medical benefits from Veterans Administration for any non-service-connected disabilities at any time during the previous three months (to contribute to an HSA).*** 

  • You can’t be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return. 

  • You aren’t covered by a general purpose healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). Alternative plan designs, such as a limited-purpose FSA or HRA, might be permitted.
