If your Boeing employee is enrolled in Boeing’s Advantage+ health plan, they may be able to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). The money put in the HSA can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses (refer to IRS Publication 502) on a tax-free basis.
If your Boeing employee enrolls, Boeing may make an annual contribution to your HSA, too, to help you and your family save even more. You also can contribute to invest or use your HSA funds tax-free.
An HSA can be a valuable savings tool because the money is always the employee’s to use — even in retirement.
The IRS limits how much your Boeing employee can contribute their HSA each year. That limit includes any contributions made by Boeing.
| Contribution Limits | |
|---|---|
| 2024 |
|
| 2025 |
|
| Catch-up | If you’re age 55 or older or turn 55 during the year, you can contribute an extra $1,000 |
Employees must actively elect to contribute to the HSA every year. They can start, stop or change their paycheck contribution amount at any point during the year.
If your Boeing employee is planning to use the HSA as one more way to save for qualifying medical expenses in retirement, they can invest their HSA in a number of low cost mutual funds through HealthEquity. Maintaining a minimum balance in their HSA is not required. They can start investing as soon as their funds are deposited to their HSA. Additionally, there are no fees to invest or to use HealthEquity advisory services.
Note: Contributions to a HSA and any gains from HSA fund investments are exempt from federal income tax. However, some states, including California and New Jersey, tax HSA contributions and investment gains.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) help you pay for things you need using pre-tax dollars they set aside throughout the year.
Employees can contribute to a Health Care FSA to help pay for eligible health care expenses for the employee and his or her dependents.
| Contribution Limits | |
|---|---|
| 2024 | $3,200 |
| 2025 | $3,300 |
Which expenses are eligible depends on the medical plan option in which you enroll. (See IRS Publication 502 for a list of eligible Health Care FSA expenses.)

Making the Most of Your FSA
You can use your Health Care FSA debit card to pay for qualified medical expenses on the spot, or you can file for reimbursement later. You can be reimbursed for costs incurred during the plan year which runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. You’ll have until April 30 of the following plan year to request reimbursement.
Certain unused amounts in your Health Care FSA may be carried over into the next plan year.
| For expenses incurred between… | Reimbursement must be requested by… | You may carry over… | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2024 | April 30, 2025 | Minimum of $10, up to $640 of unused funds from 2024 into 2025 |
| 2025 | 1/1/2025 - 12/31/2025 | April 30, 2026 | Minimum of $10, up to $660 of unused funds from 2025 into 2026 |
You’ll lose money in your account above the carryover amount if you don’t use it by the deadline.
If enrolled in the Health Care FSA, your Boeing employee can review how much money is available for an upcoming health care expense by going to Worklife, linking to My Total Rewards & Benefits and then to the My Reimbursement Accounts page.
