HSA Limits for 2020
Rev. Proc. 2019-25 from the IRS announces inflation-adjusted amounts for Health Savings Accounts in the 2020 calendar year, in accordance with § 223 of the Code.
Contribution limits
Persons with self-only HDHP coverage may deposit up to $3,550 in calendar year 2020; those with family coverage may deposit up to $7,100.
The contribution limit applies aggregately to deposits by the account owner, employer, and any others.
HDHP minimum deductible
The deductible of the HDHP that makes an individual eligible for HSA contributions in 2020 must be at least $1,400 for self-only plans and at least $2,800 for family coverage.
HDHP Out-of-pocket maximum
The total of the HDHP deductible, co-payments, and other amounts (but not premiums) paid directly (out-of-pocket) by the HSA account owner may not exceed $6,900 for self-only coverage or $13,800 for a family plan.
Catch-up provision
The catch-up allowance for persons age 55 and older is not adjusted annually. It remains at $1,000 for calendar year 2020.
Plan document updates
Generally, a company’s Section 125 Cafeteria HSA plan document does not need updated for these annual changes because the plan document is written to reflect whatever the IRS limit is for the year, or for a set dollar amount lower than the IRS limit.
Employers wanting to update a plan document to change a stated dollar amount, or to restate the Section 125 plan for any other reason, can do so quickly and conveniently with our secure online order form.
