[ Erin Woulfe ](https://blog.nisbenefits.com/author/erin-woulfe) 05/01/2018 [ Legislative News](https://blog.nisbenefits.com/topic/aca-other-legislative-news) [0 Comments ](https://blog.nisbenefits.com/hsa-family-contribution-limit-changed-again#postComment) 1 Minutes Last week, the IRS made another change to the 2018 family HSA (Health Savings Account) contribution limit. This change modifies their March 5th directive.   #### **What is the new limit?** The IRS has increased the 2018 HSA contribution limit for individuals with family high deductible health plans (HDHP) coverage from $6,850 to $6,900. This change is effective for the 2018 calendar year.   #### **Why was the limit changed?** In response to numerous stakeholder concerns, the Treasury Department and the IRS determined it was best to change the limit back again to the original allowed amount published in 2017. ** ** #### **Are other limits changing too? ** No, all the other HSA and HDHP limits for 2018 are unchanged and remain the same as those announced by the IRS in May 2017. ** ** #### **What do I need to do?** Contact your HSA plan administrator if you have any questions about this change or the $50 refund your employees may have received.
