Prorated contribution limits

The IRS states that contribution limits must be prorated by the number of months one is eligible to contribute to a health savings account. Divide the contribution limit by 12 and contribute that amount.

FSA with grace period terms

A health FSA with a grace period may offer a period of up to 2 months and 15 days after the close of a plan year during which members can incur reimbursable expenses. This 2-month-and-15-day grace period generally disqualifies those from contributing to an HSA until the first calendar month beginning after the grace period ends (e.g., April 1 in the case of a grace period beginning January 1 and ending March 15) unless the health FSA account balance is $0 at the end of the immediately prior plan year (e.g., as of the previous December 31 for a calendar-year plan), in which case such coverage can be disregarded and the individual is HSA-eligible during the grace period.

IRA to HSA rollover

HSA owners may make a one-time distribution of money from an IRA into an HSA. An individual may only do this if they are already eligible to have an HSA. Funds can only be rolled over once during a lifetime. The maximum rollover amount is the same as the annual HSA contribution limit for that year.
