Transfer, rollover or withdraw your funds.
The money in the HSA is yours to use for medical expenses, or to invest and grow. However, since the money is tax-free, the IRS has stipulations on how and when you can withdraw the funds.
Some options include:
- HSA to HSA Transfer
- HSA to HSA Rollover
HSA to HSA Transfer
Transfer all or part of your HSA funds from your current HSA administrator directly to your Discovery Benefits HSA in three steps:
Step 1: Complete the HSA Transfer Request and HSA Application:
Step 2: Send the completed forms to Discovery Benefits
Step 3: Discovery Benefits will take care of the rest.
- Your funds will be deposited into a cash account.
- Amounts exceeding $1,500 above the threshold will be automatically transferred to an interest-bearing account.
HSA to HSA Rollover
If you would rather have funds sent to you before transferring to Discovery, follow these steps:
Step 1: Complete the HSA Rollover Certification and HSA Application:
Step 2: Request and receive funds from your current HSA administrator.
- NOTE: The IRS requires you to deposit those funds into a new HSA within 60 days to avoid a withdrawal tax.
Step 3: Send the completed HSA Rollover Request and HSA Application Forms along with a check for your Rollover Funds
Step 4: Discovery Benefits will take care of the rest.
- Your funds will be deposited into a cash account.
- Amounts exceeding $1,500 above the threshold will be automatically transferred to an interest-bearing account.
