Making A Non-Payroll Contribution - HSA

Contributions to your Health Savings Account (HSA) is a great way to set funds aside for current medical expenses while also saving for expenses in the future. An HSA allows you to make contributions to help grow your savings, and if used for eligible health care expenses, do so tax-free.

If your employer sponsors your HSA plan, you may be able to set up payroll deferrals to contribute to your HSA plan automatically. If not, or you want to submit additional contributions outside of payroll.

Make contributions in just a few easy steps through your online account.

1.  Log into your online account and go the Home page.

2.  Select Contribute to HSA  from the I Want To menu.

3.  Create Transaction: In the From section select your bank that you would like the funds to come from. **Please Note in order to update your bank account you must choose Update Bank Account on this screen and then select your preferred bank account in the From section.

4. You can do a one-time deposit or set up scheduled deposits from your bank. If choosing schedule, you must select the frequency and click Next.

5. Enter amount of transaction (either one-time or scheduled) and click Next.  Confirm the changes and click Submit.

*Note- There are contribution limits to your HSA. For 2026 the limits are:
