Health Savings Account (HSA) - Moda Plan 6 & Kaiser 3 only
An HSA is a pre-tax account established to pay for qualified medical expenses for those who are covered under a High Deductible Health Plan.
More information: Click Here
To receive a district contribution to your HSA, you must be enrolled in a high deductible health plan (Moda Plan 6 or Kaiser 3) and be a full-time active employee. In addition, you can contribute your own pre-tax dollars to the account and unused funds roll over year to year.
Medicare and HSA
If you have an HSA when you sign up for Medicare, you can't contribute to your HSA once your Medicare coverage begins. If you contribute to your HSA after your Medicare coverage starts, you may have to pay a tax penalty. If you'd like to continue contributing to your HSA, you shouldn't apply for Medicare, Social Security, or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) benefits.
Note: Premium-Free Part A coverage begins six months before the date you apply for Medicare (or Social Security/RRB benefits), but no earlier than the first month you were eligible for Medicare. To avoid a tax penalty, you should stop contributing to your HSA at least six months before you apply for Medicare.
