The 2017 HSA limits have been released.

2017 Maximum HSA Contribution:
Individual: $3400 (+$50 from 2016)

Spouse 55+ Catch-up (in separate HSA account): $1000

Family: $2600 (unchanged)

2017 HSA eligible HDHP Max OOP:

Silver Plan cost sharing reductions can bring the plan below the minimum required deductible for HSA eligibility.

Note: The $6750 HSA contribution limit applies to Family HDHP plans. However, if the husband has a self-only HDHP, he may contribute the $3400 individual HSA limit to his HSA. If the wife has a self-only HDHP, she may contribute $3400 to her HSA account for a total of $6800.

Am I correct that once one goes on Medicare you can no longer contribute to an HSA? If so, what happens if you go on Medicare mid-year?

You can contribute a proportional amount to your HSA account. For example, if you go on Medicare six months into the calendar year, you can contribute 50% of the HSA max for the year.

Yes, you are correct. You need to prorate for the months that Medicare is not effective.

I am in that situation and was waiting for the 2017 HSA amounts to figure out my prorated amount.
