Reminder: Expiration of Permissible Rollovers from FSA or HRA to HSA

Reminder: Expiration of Permissible Rollovers from FSA or HRA to HSA

When the concept for health savings accounts was enacted in 2004, the law allowed, for a limited period of time, the ability to roll over account balances from flexible medical spending accounts or health reimbursement arrangements into health savings accounts, as long as certain conditions are met.  The ability to roll from these types of accounts expires December 31, 2011. 

Rollovers from an individual retirement account to a health savings account by way of a plan-to-plan transfer are not impacted and may continue.
