Questions and Answers
A married couple has a family-coverage high-deductible health plan (HDHP). The husband has turned age 65 and is going to enroll in Medicare. His wife is not yet eligible for Medicare. Can she contribute to an HSA?
The husband’s HSA is no longer eligible to receive regular HSA contributions due to his enrollment in Medicare. His wife is covered under an HDHP, presumably is not covered under a non-HDHP, and is not enrolled in Medicare. She therefore remains eligible for contributions to an HSA in her name.
