Say goodbye to high deductible health plan expenses.

 

Advantages of a Kearny Bank HSA

• Contributions can be made by you, your employer, or both.

• If you claim a family member on your taxes, HSA funds may be used for their qualified expenses even if you have just single coverage.

• Funds earn TAX-FREE interest.

• Funds roll over at year-end and keep earning interest.

• The account is portable, and money remains available even if you change health plans, employers or retire.

• After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any reason without penalty.

• Distribution will be subject to federal tax unless used for a qualified expense.

• Kearny Bank will issue a convenient debit card allowing for timely payments.

HSA Eligibility

You must be covered by a high-deductible health plan and meet the following criteria:

• May not be covered by another health plan that is not an HDHP (except certain plans that provide specific limited types of coverage.)

• Are not enrolled in Medicare.

• Can not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.

How Does It Work?

An HSA allows contributions to a limit, with $4,300 for an individual and $8,550 for a family in 2025. It can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses, including medical care not covered by insurance. This benefit extends to you, your spouse, and qualified dependents. Optimize your HSA contributions with these tips.

Qualified medical expenses include medical, dental, vision, chiropractic, pharmaceuticals, and more!

Important Information

• Distributions before age 65 that are used for non-qualified expenses will incur a 20% penalty and will be taxable.

• Contributions may not cover the total of your expenses.

• You must keep careful records to prove the use of withdrawals.
