Your 2023 HSA and/or FSA

FSAs: Elect an FSA if you want one in 2024. If you are eligible for and want to contribute to a Flexible Spending Account in 2024, you must make an election during the Annual Enrollment period—your 2023 elections will not automatically carry over.

When considering your contribution amount, please note the annual maximum for the health care FSA (HCFSA) in 2024 is $3050. Also, keep in mind that up to 20% rolls-over to 2025 if you have not used it by December 31, 2024. And, if you elect the HDHP with HSA, your HCFSA automatically becomes limited purpose (can be used only for dental and vision expenses). The dependent care (DCFSA) IRS maximum remains unchanged at $5,000.

HSA: Your 2023 election and contribution (if applicable) rolls over into 2024. The maximum pre-tax contribution you may make to a Health Savings Account will increase to $4,150 if you have individual coverage and $8,300 if you have employee plus one or employee plus family coverage. Remember to take into account Segal’s contribution to your HSA when determining your contribution amount. If you’re age 55 or older in 2024, you can make an additional $1,000 pre-tax catch-up contribution.
