Health Savings Account (HSA)

• All HSA holders can save up to $4,300 for an individual and $8,550 for a family.
• If you're an HSA holder who is 55 years old or older, you'll get to save an extra $1,000, which means $5,300 for an individual and $9,550 for a family.

You can use your HSA card as a debit card with your PIN, so you can sign for your qualified medical expenses like a credit card, and the card will work at ATM machines. You can make balance inquiries and deposits to your account like any other savings account — just remember, per IRS guidelines, this account can only be used for qualified medical expenses.

You can invest your HSA funds into a variety of no-load or load-waived mutual funds via our brokerage HSA through a partnership with DEVENIR, a national leader in investment options for health benefit plans. A minimum liquidity of $1,000 is required in the CCU HSA Checking Account when taking advantage of the HSA investment options. View information about this benefit or our current plan options.
