Reply to comment by BouncyEgg in HSA: If I lost my HDHP half-way through the year, can I still make my contributions for last year? by MongooseMongeese

I had the HDHP for 5-6 years with my last employer, until end of June 2022. My new employer's coverage does not qualify as an HDHP. I forget the name of the insurance company that I have but I know it is not an HDHP.

On 12/1/2022 I did not have the HDHP and have not hit the yearly contribution cap yet for 2022.

Since ~July 2022 and through to present I have a non-HDHP.

I hope that makes sense!

Edit: Confused 12/22 and 1/22

It made sense until you said:

> On 12/1/2022 I had the HDHP

Because you also said:

> Since ~July 2022 and through to present I have a non-HDHP.

So... you didn't have HDHP 12/1/2022 then... right? (and basically don't plan on having HDHP for entirety of 2023)

Oh! Sorry, it's early here. I read 12/1 and my tired brain thought January. I'll edit to correct, but yes as of 12/1 I did not have the HDHP. And correct, I don't plan to have another HDHP for 2023.

Then by this:

You have unlocked 6/12 of the HSA maximum.

This simplifies to 1/2 of the HSA maximum.

This is the total you (including employer) can contribute to the HSA for 2022.

If you have not hit half of the max HSA for 2022, then you can make a contribution directly (out of your bank account).

You can also consider moving the HSA to somewhere with no fees and allows you to invest the money in whatever you want.

Fidelity is the one you should consider.

Thank you so much! That is much simpler than I anticipated. I didn't even know I could roll over an HSA the same way I can rollover a 403(b) so that is GREAT to know as well!
