A little setup.
Married, two kids, I'll be 65 and will be on medicare in a month.
We have a HDHP, That I will fall off of, when I go on Medicare in a month.
I have a (family?) HSA, ie I can put about $7,000 a year into it.
As I understand it, my 2020 (family) HSA, I'm only able to put in
2 months of the 12 months because my HDHP will end at the end of FEB.
I get the $1000 catch up, so, $8000 x 2 / 12 = $1,333
My wife and kids will continue on with the HDHP when I go on Medicare.
She is 4 years younger than I am.
Can she open a 'self only' HSA and while I do the 2/12 HSA contribution in the same year?
