GW HSA Matching Contribution
For 2027, GW will make a tax-free matching contribution to your account. You must open an HSA through GW's third-party administrator in order to receive this funding. As long as you have opened your account, the GW Match will be deposited coincident with your first paycheck of 2027.
Employee-only coverage
For every $1 you contribute to your HSA, GW will match your contribution on a one-for-one basis up to $600!
Covering any dependents (spouse/domestic partner or children)
For every $1 you contribute to your HSA, GW will match your contribution on a one-for-one basis up to $1,200!
Reminder: Your HSA contribution + GW’s contribution cannot exceed the annual IRS limits.
No claims to process! How do I access my HSA funds?

Pay yourself back: Pay for eligible expenses with cash, check or your personal credit card, then withdraw funds from your HSA to reimburse yourself. You can even have your payment deposited directly into your checking or savings account.
