One common question that people with a health savings account have is, what happens to my HSA when I die? It Depends on Your Beneficiary Well, the answer depends on who your beneficiary is . If your spouse is the beneficiary, then he or she would inherit the HSA as a health savings account and would be able to continue to use the funds for qualified medical expenses . If anyone else is designated as the beneficiary, then: The HSA will be cashed out The government will keep its share since the funds were never taxed in the first place The beneficiary will receive the remaining amount as cash , not as an HSA [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="1_4" layout="1_4" align_self="auto" content_layout="column" align_content="flex-start" valign_content="flex-start" content_wrap="wrap" spacing="" center_content="no" column_tag="div" link="" target="_self" link_description="" min_height="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" sticky_display="normal,sticky" class="" id="" type_medium="" type_small="" flex_grow_medium="" flex_grow_small="" flex_grow="" flex_shrink_medium="" flex_shrink_small="" flex_shrink="" order_medium="0" order_small="0" dimension_spacing_medium="" dimension_spacing_small="" dimension_spacing="" dimension_margin_medium="" dimension_margin_small="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" padding_medium="" padding_small="" padding_top="" padding_right="" padding_bottom="" padding_left="" hover_type="none" border_sizes="" border_color_hover="" border_color="" border_style="solid" border_radius="" box_shadow="no" dimension_box_shadow="" box_shadow_blur="0" box_shadow_spread="0" box_shadow_color="" box_shadow_style="" z_index_hover="" z_index="" overflow="" background_type="single" background_color_medium="" background_color_small="" background_color_medium_hover="" background_color_small_hover="" background_color_hover="" background_color="" gradient_start_color="" gradient_end_color="" gradient_start_position="0" gradient_end_position="100" gradient_type="linear" radial_direction="center center" linear_angle="180" background_image_medium="" background_image_small="" background_image="" background_image_id_medium="" background_image_id_small="" background_image_id="" lazy_load="avada" skip_lazy_load="" background_position_medium="" background_position_small="" background_position="left top" background_repeat_medium="" background_repeat_small="" background_repeat="no-repeat" background_size_medium="" background_size_small="" background_size="" background_custom_size="" background_custom_size_medium="" background_custom_size_small="" background_blend_mode_medium="" background_blend_mode_small="" background_blend_mode="none" background_slider_images="" background_slider_position="" background_slider_skip_lazy_loading="no" background_slider_loop="yes" background_slider_pause_on_hover="no" background_slider_slideshow_speed="5000" background_slider_animation="fade" background_slider_direction="up" background_slider_animation_speed="800" background_slider_blend_mode="" render_logics="" sticky="off" sticky_devices="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" sticky_offset="" absolute="off" absolute_props="" filter_type="regular" filter_hover_element="self" filter_hue="0" filter_saturation="100" filter_brightness="100" filter_contrast="100" filter_invert="0" filter_sepia="0" filter_opacity="100" filter_blur="0" filter_hue_hover="0" filter_saturation_hover="100" filter_brightness_hover="100" filter_contrast_hover="100" filter_invert_hover="0" filter_sepia_hover="0" filter_opacity_hover="100" filter_blur_hover="0" transform_type="regular" transform_hover_element="self" transform_scale_x="1" transform_scale_y="1" transform_translate_x="0" transform_translate_y="0" transform_rotate="0" transform_skew_x="0" transform_skew_y="0" transform_scale_x_hover="1" transform_scale_y_hover="1" transform_translate_x_hover="0" transform_translate_y_hover="0" transform_rotate_hover="0" transform_skew_x_hover="0" transform_skew_y_hover="0" transform_origin="" transition_duration="300" transition_easing="ease" transition_custom_easing="" motion_effects="" scroll_motion_devices="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" animation_type="" animation_direction="left" animation_color="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_delay="0" animation_offset="" last="true" border_position="all" first="false"][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
