Who is eligible to open and contribute to an HSA?

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 by WPJ

To open or contribute to an HSA you must meet certain eligibility requirements. Specifically:

  • You must be covered by a qualified high deductible health plan on the first day of the month
  • You cannot be covered by any other health plan that is not a qualified high deductible health plan, including spouse’s health insurance
  • You cannot be covered by spouse’s Medical FSA
  • You cannot be enrolled in Medicare Part A or Part B
  • You cannot be covered by TriCare
  • To make contributions you cannot have accessed your VA medical benefits in the past 90 days
  • You may not be claimed as dependent on another person’s tax return
