A Delta Community CU health savings account helps you save for medical expenses with tax benefits.  Health Savings Account benefits include:

• Tax Savings. You can deduct qualified contributions to a Health Savings Account from your gross income on a federal tax return – even when you aren’t itemizing deductions. If you take distributions for qualified medical expenses, they are tax-free and your accumulated funds grow with tax-deferred earnings.
• Decisions & Control.   It is up to you whether you use your account to pay for current medical expenses or save for future expenses.
• Transferable. Money in a health savings account isn’t tied to any particular job or employer.  It’s like an IRA – if you change employers or retire, the money remains in the account.

There are a number of ways you can get money from your health savings account with Delta Community Credit Union.   You are given an online account management system, checks, and a debit card that can all be used to pay for qualified medical expenses. ‘ll be able to manage your account online and write checks or use your HSA debit card to pay for qualified medical expenses.
