CONTRIBUTING IS EASYContributing funds to your HSA helps lower your taxable income and allows you to build a “Nest Egg” for future health care expenses. Contributions to your HSA may be made by you, your employer or anyone; however, the preferred tax treatment will only be realized by you.

CONTRIBUTION METHODSYou can contribute money to your account in several convenient ways including:

» Direct Deposit – Your HSA account acts just like a personal checking account. If your employer offers direct deposit, you can give them your HSA account information to begin contributing via direct deposit.

» Funds Transfer – Within the WealthCare portal you can schedule electronic transfers from other financial institutions. They are fast and easy!

» Account Transfer – If you have an existing HSA, you may be eligible to either rollover or transfer the funds to your new HSA. Contact us at 844.472.6567 for more information.

» Checks – mail to: Union Bank & Trust Attn: Health Benefit Solutions PO Box 82518 Lincoln, NE 68501-2518

MAXIMIZE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONSThe tax advantages of an HSA make it a powerful long-term savings vehicle. Contributing the maximum allowable amount helps you to get the most from your HSA. At the very least, you’ll want to contribute enough to cover anticipated healthcare expenses. Because your balance rolls over year-to-year, there is no penalty for contributing more than you’re able to use in one year.

Keep in mind that HSA contribution limits, established by the IRS, may change each year and you must not over contribute to avoid adverse tax consequences.

2017 Contribution Limit

2018 Contribution Limit

Catch-up Contribution

Single $3,350 $3,400 $1,000

Family $6,750 $6,850 $1,000

*Participants age 55 or older may make additional contributions above the set HSA maximum. Catch-up contributions can be made any time during the year in which the HSA participant turns 55.

Sound complicated? Don’t worry. There are tools within the Health Benefit Soltuions portal that will help you monitor your contributions and help prevent over contributing. Contact us if you have any questions.

Checks should be made payable to Union Bank & Trust, simply write your account number in the memo line.
