Health Savings Account

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually owned, tax-advantaged, interest-bearing savings
account that can only be used to pay for qualified medical expenses. The IRS requires that you be
enrolled in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan that meets their annual minimum deductible and
out-of-pocket maximums (CMT’s plan meets these amounts). You may not have any other health
coverage, unless it is also a High Deductible Health Plan.
Pre-tax contributions to the HSA may be made by the employee through payroll deductions, and the
unused balances will roll over from year to year. The HSA and all contributions belong to you as the
employee. A great feature of an HSA is the ability to save money on a pre-tax basis to use for medical
expenses into retirement.

In the 2020 plan year, CMT will match an employee’s contribution on a dollar for dollar basis, up to a
maximum of $840 annually ($35 per pay period) if the employee is enrolled in the CMT high deduct-
ible plan and utilizes the payroll deduction feature to fund the health savings account. The annual
amount contributed by CMT will be no more than $840 and may be less if the employee elects to
contribute less. The employee deferred amount must be completed through a pre-tax payroll deduction
utilizing a Bank of Springfield (BOS) health savings account. The amount contributed will be added to
the employee’s health savings account each payroll to match the funds contributed by the employee.
