Future Offerings
In order to keep our benefit offerings competitive, we will be introducing a Health Savings Account (HSA) eligible medical plan option effective June 2026. In order to allow employees to participate in an HSA we first need to move our Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to a 6/1 plan year renewal.
Health Savings Account (HSA) Overview

- you (or your spouse) are enrolled in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
- you are enrolled in Medicare, Indian Heatlh Services or Military (Tricare) Coverage.
- you can be claimed as a dependent on someone's tax return.
- Only available when enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
- A true bank account in your name.
- Contributions are pre-tax dollars automatically put in your account through payroll deductions.
- Funds are used to pay for qualified medical, dental, vision and some over the counter expenses tax free.
- Unused funds rollover from year to year and accumulate tax free.
- At age 65 funds can be used unpenalized for non-qualified expenses but you will pay income tax.
- 2026 annual limits will be $4,400 for employee only or $8,750 for employee plus dependent. Members age 55+ can add $1,000 to those limits.
