Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
HSA Plan Overview
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account designed to help individuals with a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) pay for medical expenses. Funds can be used for IRS-approved expenses such as medical, dental, and vision care, prescriptions, and more. See the IRS website for details.
Triple Tax Savings
1. Direct deposit contributions are made pre-tax, reducing taxable income
2. Any interest or investment earnings grow tax-free
3. Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are not taxed
Key Benefits
– Jaynes matches direct deposit contributions up to $1,000 per year
– Your HSA is yours to keep, even if you leave Jaynes or retire
– Funds do not expire and automatically roll over year to year
– HSA funds can offset out-of-pocket healthcare costs in retirement
– After age 65, HSA funds can be used for any purpose (medical expenses remain tax-free; non-medical use is taxed as regular income).
For 2026, the IRS contribution limits are $4,400 for individuals and $8,750 for families, including the company match.
HSA Catch-Up
If you're 55 or older, you’re eligible to contribute an additional $1,000 per year to your HSA beyond the standard IRS limits. This catch-up contribution helps you boost your healthcare savings while reducing your taxable income.
Like regular HSA contributions, catch-up contributions are tax-deductible, grow tax-free, and can be withdrawn tax-free when used for qualified medical expenses.
To qualify for the catch-up contribution, you must:
-
Be age 55 or older by December 31 of the tax year
-
Contribute the maximum standard amount of $4,400 (for individuals) or $8,750 (for families) to your HSA
Pro Tip
Fidelity offers an HSA with no fees or minimums, plus investment options to help your savings grow. Learn more at https://www.fidelity.com/go/hsa/why-hsa. You can also download the Fidelity Health App to easily access and manage your HSA, pay providers, and upload and store receipts for health care expenses.
Note: this is NOT an employer account. Jaynes is not partnered with Fidelity; however, you can open an individual account with them.
Important
Electing an HSA through UKG only authorizes payroll deductions; it does not open the account. Employees must open an HSA with the bank of their choice and provide HR with documentation such as a screenshot, printout, or voided check from the bank. The document must clearly indicate that the account is a Health Savings Account (HSA) and show the account number and routing number. Enrollment will not be approved without this information. Note: written and/or typed account information cannot be accepted.
Employees are responsible for researching and opening the correct account, managing their account (including investments), and selecting/updating their beneficiaries with their bank. Employees are also responsible for ensuring the funds in their HSA account are used for qualified medical expenses.
