Health Savings Accounts
An HSA, or Health Savings Account, is a special type of savings account that allows you to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses. We’ve partnered with HSA Store to provide our members with additional resources for their HSA accounts.

If you are eligible for a Health Savings Account, the contributions you make are tax deductible up to the IRS limit. You can also earn tax-free interest on the account. Then, when you have qualified medical expenses, you can withdraw from the account tax-free. This may be done by writing checks on your HSA account, using your HSA Visa debit card, or by withdrawing funds directly from the credit union. The account owner is responsible for substantiating that distributions are for qualified medical expenses. The credit union does not determine what is considered a qualified medical expense. Consumers should consult with a qualified tax advisor for additional tax information.
