Health Savings Account (HSA) GCEFCU
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
ABOUT HSA A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account where the money can only be used for eligible medical expenses. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), the money rolls over year to year however only those funds that have been deposited in your account can be used. Contributions to a Health Savings Account can only be used if you are also enrolled in a High Deductible Health Care Plan (HDHP). For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/crosbyisd
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is more than a way to help you and your family cover health care costs – it is also a tax-exempt tool to supplement your retirement savings and cover health expenses during retirement. An HSA can provide the funds to help pay current health care expenses as well as future health care costs.
You decide whether to use the money in your account to pay for qualified expenses or let it grow for future use. If you are 55 or older, you may make a yearly catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 to your HSA. If you turn 55 at any time during the plan year, you are eligible to make the catch-up contribution for the entire plan year.
A type of personal savings account, an HSA is always yours even if you change health plans or jobs. The money in your HSA (including interest and investment earnings) grows tax-free and spends tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses. There is no “use it or lose it” rule — you do not lose your money if you do not spend it in the calendar year — and there are no vesting requirements or forfeiture provisions. The account automatically rolls over year after year.
Opening an HSA
HSA Eligibility You are eligible to open and contribute to an HSA if you are: • Enrolled in an HSA-eligible HDHP • Not covered by another plan that is not a qualified HDHP, such as your spouse’s health plan • Not enrolled in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account, nor should your spouse be contributing towards a Health Care Flexible Spending Account • Not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return • Not enrolled in Medicare or TRICARE • Not receiving Veterans Administration benefits You can use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses now or in the future. You can also use HSA funds to pay health care expenses for your dependents, even if they are not covered under your HDHP.
Maximum Contributions Your HSA contributions may not exceed the annual maximum amount established by the Internal Revenue Service. The annual contribution maximum for 2022 is based on the coverage option you elect: • Individual – $3,650 • Family (filing jointly) – $7,300
14
To get started with your new HSA, you will enroll with Crosby ISD. Afterwards, Gulf Coast Educators FCU will service your HSA, and mail your new benefit cards to the address listed in THEbenefitsHUB. You will have the option to make pre-tax deductions straight from your paycheck, or transfer funds as you are able.
Important HSA Information •
•
Always ask your health care provider to file claims with your medical provider so network discounts can be applied. You can pay the provider with your HSA debit card based on the balance due after discount. You, not your employer, are responsible for maintaining ALL records and receipts for HSA reimbursements in the event of an IRS audit.
How to Use your HSA Participant Account Web Access: www.gcefcu.org Participants may call Gulf Coast Educators FCU and talk to a representative during regular business hours, Monday - Friday, 7 am to 7 pm CST, and on Saturday from 9 am to 12 pm CST. Participants may also log into their GCEFCU online banking account at any time to view their balance, account history, and make transfers to their HSA.

Cancer Insurance

MetLife/Administered by Bay Bridge ABOUT CANCER Cancer insurance offers you and your family supplemental insurance protection in the event you or a covered family member is diagnosed with cancer. It pays a benefit directly to you to help with expenses associated with cancer treatment.
For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/crosbyisd
Treatment for cancer is often lengthy and expensive. While your health insurance helps pay the medical expenses for cancer treatment, it does not cover the cost of non-medical expenses, such as out-of-town treatments, special diets, daily living, and household upkeep. In addition to these non-medical expenses, you are responsible for paying your health plan deductibles and/or coinsurance. Cancer insurance through American Public Life helps pay for these direct and indirect treatment costs so you can focus on your health.

If you use the debit card to pay anything other than a copay amount, you will need to submit an itemized receipt or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). If you do not submit your receipts, you will receive a request for substantiation. You will have 60 days to submit your receipts after receiving the request for substantiation before your debit card is suspended. Check the expiration date on your card to see when you should order a replacement card(s).
Dependent Care FSA The Dependent Care FSA helps pay for expenses associated with caring for elder or child dependents so you or your spouse can work or attend school full time. You can use the account to pay for day care or baby sitter expenses for your children under age 13 and qualifying older dependents, such as dependent parents. Reimbursement from your Dependent Care FSA is limited to the total amount deposited in your account at that time. To be eligible, you must be a single parent or you and your spouse must be employed outside the home, disabled or a full-time student.
