The Credit Union offers Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and we can help you establish yours if you are covered by a high-deductible health plan. Here are three good reasons to have one:
- • Tax Savings. Federally qualified HSA contributions can be deducted from your gross income on your federal tax return, even if you do not itemize your deductions; distributions are tax-free if used for qualified medical expenses; and accumulated funds grow with tax-deferred earnings.
- • Control. You make all the decisions relating to your account, like whether to save for future expenses or pay current medical expenses and how to invest the funds.
- • Portability. You own your account, and it goes with you if you change jobs or retire. Funds remain in the account from year to year, just like an IRA.

Account Disclosures
The Membership Share and Health Savings Checking are dividend-bearing accounts.
The Membership Share transactions are limited to the initial $5.00 opening deposit required for membership, with no additional deposit or withdrawal activity allowed. The Membership Share is not a part of the Health Savings Account balance. Credit Union membership share par value is $5.00.
Health Savings Checking transactions are limited only to the available balance in the account. Overdraft protection is not available. Checks are optional and should be used for “normal distributions” only. Therefore, for any other type of Health Savings distribution such as death, disability, and excess contribution removal, contact the Credit Union to complete a withdrawal form to document the purpose of the distribution.
