Stop Penalizing Working Seniors Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow individuals only enrolled in Medicare Part A to contribute to health savings accounts.
Summary
This bill amends the tax code to allow individuals enrolled only in Medicare Part A to contribute to health savings accounts. Currently, most Medicare beneficiaries cannot make contributions to these accounts. The amendment would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and specifically targets people whose only Medicare coverage is Part A hospital insurance and who have not enrolled in Part B. This change would allow certain working seniors to continue using health savings accounts for tax-advantaged healthcare savings.
