Health Savings Account (HSA)
Health Savings Account (HSA) is an employee-owned savings account that can be used to pay for qualified medical, dental or vision expenses not covered by the health plans.
HSA must be paired with a high-deductible health plan (Enjoy’s Cigna OAP 2000 HSA plan qualifies for this purpose - see Medical Plans for details).
HSA is easy to use – it works like a debit card that is linked to the funds in your account.
​
Enjoy contributes $50/month to employee’s HSA account. HSA funds roll over each year, allowing you to build a savings account for health care expenses or for retirement:
​
-
Once your HSA balance reaches $1,000, you may invest these funds and let them grow tax-free
-
After age 65, you can spend HSA money on unqualified expenses without paying a tax penalty, but you are subject to applicable income taxes
Why HSA?
Triple Tax Benefit
-
Contributions to an HSA (from both you and Enjoy) are tax-free*
-
Interest and investment earnings on the account are tax-free*
-
Funds withdrawn from the account for qualified expenses are tax-free*
* HSA funds are not taxed at a federal income tax level when used appropriately for qualified expenses. Most states recognize HSA funds as tax-free with few exceptions. Consult a tax advisor for more information.
Plan contributions

* Individuals age 55 or older are able to make a catch-up contribution of $1,000 over the 2021 IRS limit. In addition, individuals enrolled in Medicare are not eligible to contribute to HSA.
Health Flexible Spending Accounts (Health FSA)
Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (Health FSA) is an employer-owned, tax-advantaged account that allows you to set aside a portion of your income on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified health expenses.
​
Enjoy has increased the grace period to spend your FSA funds from 2.5 months to 12 months after the plan year ends. This means you have until December 31, 2021 to incur qualified expenses and submit them to Discovery Benefits to get reimbursed from your 2020 FSA funds.
​
If you wish to make pre-tax contributions to an FSA account, you must pro-actively enroll in the plan each year; your election from the prior year does not automatically rollover
Why Health FSA?
-
Contributions to an FSA are tax-free
​​
-
All of your funds are available on the first day of the plan year
