The member can also have the option to pay expenses out-of-pocket and let their HSA grow and earn interest for future qualified expenses, including certain retiree health expenses. The member owns their HSA, so they keep it, even if they change health insurance plans or jobs. At the end of each year, money left in the account rolls over to the next year. back to top
