SAVINGS






       How the Health Savings Account (HSA) Works
       If you enroll in the HSA PPO plan, you can take advantage of the Health Savings bank account feature. A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account
       that you own. You may elect to make pre-tax contributions into your account up to IRS maximums. IRS maximums for 2020 are $3,550 for employee coverage and
       $7,100 for family coverage. If you are 55 years of age or older in 2020, the IRS also permits you an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000. The portion of your
       paycheck that you contribute to your HSA will be taken out before you pay federal income taxes, Social Security taxes and most state taxes (excluding state taxes in
       AL, CA and NJ). Any contributions you make can be increased or decreased over the course of the year.

       You can decide how to manage your money. The money in your HSA is yours to save and spend on eligible health care expenses whenever you need it, whether in
       this plan year or in future plan years. You can use the funds in your account to pay tax-free for qualifying out-of-pocket Medical, Dental and Vision expenses such as
       deductibles, coinsurance and copays. Your account balance earns interest and the unused balance rolls-over from year to year. The money is yours to keep even if
       you leave ShipStation, no longer participate in a high deductible health plan, or retire.

       The HSA administration is managed by Igoe/Avidia Bank. Once you reach $1,000 of funds, you may invest your dollars with Avidia Bank’s portfolio of funds. More
       information about Avidia fund options are available here: https://hsainvestments.com/fundperformance/?p=508.
