How can HSAs be established?

Any eligible individual can establish an HSA with a qualified HSA trustee or custodian. An eligible individual who is an employee may establish an HSA with or without involvement of the employer.

 

Beneficiaries: Although naming beneficiaries is not required, an HSA owner should name a beneficiary(ies) to receive the HSA assets upon his death. HSA owners also may wish to change their death beneficiaries.
