Your pretax payroll contributions stop after your final earnings statement, and no additional contributions from HPE will be made to your account.
You can continue to use any remaining balance in your account for eligible healthcare expenses you incur at any time in the future. As long as you are age 65 or older, you may use the money in your HSA to pay for your Medicare premiums (but not premiums for a Medicare supplement such as Medigap). You’re not allowed to use your HSA to pay Medicare premiums if you’re not yet age 65, including Medicare premiums for a spouse or other dependent who is 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare.
You can continue to make tax-deductible contributions on your own if you continue to participate in a qualifying high-deductible health plan like the HPE HDHP medical option and are not enrolled in Medicare.
If you qualify as an HPE retiree, you can continue to use your HSA debit card or go online to manage your account.
