When can I make contribution changes?
You can change the amount you contribute to your account at any time during the plan year.
Can I have an HSA and a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?
You can enroll in certain types of FSAs while you're enrolled in a Health Savings Account, including the Combination FSA and a Dependent Care FSA. However, you can't enroll in a Health Savings Account and a Health Care FSA at the same time.
What's the difference between an HSA vs. FSA?
Both accounts can help you save on eligible expenses, but they're very different. What is the biggest difference? An FSA has a "use it or lose it" rule, which means FSA funds must be spent by the end of the plan year. All Health Savings Account funds can roll over from year-to-year.
