unless otherwise noted. Here is a list of our
current mutual

A Health Savings Account (HSA) from First American Bank is a
great way to save for your health care deductible, while taking
advantage of tax savings.
What is an HSA?
A Health Savings Account is a tax-exempt trust or custodial
account which you use to pay qualified medical expenses for you
and your family.
Who is Eligible for an HSA?
To be eligible and qualify for an HSA, you must meet the
following requirements:
- You are covered under a
high-deductible health plan (HDHP) on the first day of that
month;
- You are not covered under another type
of health plan that is not an HDHP (certain exceptions apply);
- You are not enrolled in Medicare
(generally, are under 65 yrs. old); and
- You may not be claimed as a dependent
on another individual's tax return.
Why Choose an HSA?
- The HDHP generally costs less than
traditional health care coverage. Money saved on the insurance
premium can be put into the HSA.
- Contributions to your HSA are tax
deductible.
- After age 65, HSA funds can be used
for non-qualified expenses without penalty. Only income tax is
assessed.
- Use the pre-tax funds in your HSA to
pay for current medical expenses or expenses that your insurance
may not cover including dental expenses, vision care, Medicare
expenses, and long term care. See
publication 502
on
the IRS website for a complete list of qualified expenses.
- Save the money in your HSA for future
medical expenses.
- No use it or lose it philosophy - the
HSA funds remain in the account from year to year. Even if your
HSA compatible coverage ends, you can still use the funds tax
free for qualified medical expenses.
- You are in control of your HSA. Funds
belong to you even if you switch jobs, become unemployed, or
change your medical coverage

First American Bank is pleased to introduce our
Health Savings Accounts (HSA). As you are aware, a High Deductible
Health
Plan (HDHP) combined with an HSA is an innovative
way for your company to combat the rising costs of healthcare. We
have developed very competitive HSA products, and
we are interested in developing a relationship with you to offer
our
accounts to your employees.
Why choose an HSA?
The HDHP generally costs
less than traditional health care coverage. Money saved on the
insurance premium can be
put into an HSA.
Contributions to your
HSA are tax deductible. IRS guidelines in 2013 allow max
contributions up to $3,250 for
individuals and $6,450 for a family plan. For
2014, the max contributions are up to $3,300 for individuals and
$6,550
for a family plan. If you are over 55, you can
contribute an additional $1,000 "catch-up" to your HSA. If you
have a
spouse who is over 55, you must open a second
account in order to take advantage of the catch up contribution.
After age 65, HSA funds
can be used for non-qualified expenses without penalty. Only
income tax is assessed.
Use the pre-tax funds in
your HSA to pay for current medical expenses or expenses that your
insurance may not cover
including dental expenses, vision care, Medicare
expenses, and long-term care. See publication 502 on the IRS
website for a complete list of qualified expenses.
Save the money in your
HSA for future medical expenses.
There is "no use it or
lose it" philosophy – the HSA funds remain in the account from
year to year. Even if your HSA
compatible coverage ends, you can still use the
funds tax free for qualified medical expenses.
You are in control of
your HSA. Funds belong to you even if you switch jobs, become
unemployed, or change your
medical coverage.
First American Bank offers two types of Health
Savings Accounts:

SavingsPLUS Account

benefits of our Health Savings Account; in addition it allows you

Funding Options
EMPLOYERS:
There are three options available to fund your employees’
accounts:
1) Automated Clearing House (ACH) - Preferred
Method
The ACH transfer can be originated by your bank or
a direct deposit payroll system. The payroll field for the Heath
Savings Account is an additional deduction similar
to your 401k. Please remember that although this type of
account is titled Health Savings Account, the
actual account type is a “checking account”. It takes one business
day
and a maximum 48 hours for an ACH to post to the
account. In order to send an ACH you will need the routing
number and account numbers of your employees’ HSA
accounts.
First American Banks’ ABA Routing Number is
071922777.
2) Ca$hTrac (fees apply)
If you do not have the capability of direct
deposit (ACH) and would like to deposit monies into your
employees’
accounts, you have the option of using our
proprietary online business banking system “Ca$hTrac”. Ca$hTrac
will
allow you to directly debit an operating account
and credit employees’ individual accounts within 48 hours. If you
are interested in learning more, please contact
your assigned HSA Account Manager.
3)
Check
You can fund your employee’s accounts by sending a
check accompanied by a list of the employees’ name and their
account number (see sample enclosed). Please make
the check payable to First American Bank. Please be advised
that out of state checks can take up to five
business days to process.
EMPLOYEES:
There are two options available to employees who wish to
contribute to their HSA:
1) Automatic Transfer - Preferred Method
Employees can complete the HSA Auto Savings form
which will allow First American Bank to automatically deduct
funds from the employee's personal checking or
savings account on a one-time or recurring basis.
2)
Check
A check made payable to the employee
(accountholder) or First American Bank can be mailed to the bank
or
deposited at any of our 49 branch locations.
