Yes. One of the advantages of an HSA is that you can start, stop, increase, or decrease your contributions at any time during the year—no qualifying life event required.
This flexibility applies whether:
-
You contribute through payroll deductions at work, or
-
You make direct contributions to your HSA provider
Just make sure your total annual contributions (from all sources) stay within the IRS limits for the year.
🔁 Common Reasons People Adjust HSA Contributions:
-
Changing jobs or health plans
-
Planning for a big medical expense
-
Wanting to maximize tax deductions
-
Turning 55 and adding a catch-up contribution
🧠 Tip:
If you contribute through payroll, check with your HR or benefits department—they may have specific deadlines or forms to submit changes.
