FAQs
Should I invest the money in my HSA?
It depends. Many HSA accountholders choose to invest because investment earnings in an HSA are tax-free, and as long as the money in your HSA is used for eligible healthcare expenses, the money stays tax-free when you spend it. This is an advantage that isn’t available in a lot of other account types. However, investing comes with risk, so it is important to evaluate whether this option is right for you. Consult your financial and tax advisor for assistance.
Is my HSA FDIC insured?
If you’re an Associated Benefits Connection HSA accountholder, the portion of the funds in your HSA that you retain in your deposit account, or cash account, is FDIC insured up to the Standard Maximum Deposit Insurance Amount (SMDIA). Any amount you choose to invest is not FDIC insured and is subject to market risk.
What happens if I have a debit card purchase that is more than the amount of my cash balance?
If the amount of your transaction exceeds the amount in your deposit account, or cash account, the transaction will be declined, and you will need to pay using a different payment method then reimburse yourself at a later time. However, if you know that you will need to make a large purchase soon, you can increase the amount of your sweep threshold so that funds from your investment account will be swept back into your cash account and will be available at the time you make your purchase. You will need to do this at least three business days in advance to make sure that there is time to process the transaction and bring the funds back into your cash account. If you do not have at least three business days before you will need to make your purchase, you will need to pay using a different payment method and reimburse yourself at a later time.
