Are Your Employees HSA-Eligible?
To be eligible for an HSA, an individual must participate in a qualified HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan) offered by their employer.
An HDHP is a health plan with the following qualifications:
- A deductible of at least $1,650 for 2025 ($1,600 for 2024) for an individual or $3,300 for 2025 ($3,200 for 2024) for a family.

Eligibility is determined on a month-to-month basis. To qualify, employees:
- May not have other health insurance plans, with the following exceptions: worker’s compensation, insurance for a specific disease, insurance that pays a fixed amount per day of hospitalization, dental, vision, long-term care, accident and disability insurance
- May not be enrolled in Medicare Part A or Part B
