You can change your HSA employee contributions at any time throughout the year (provided that the last payroll has not been processed for the calendar year). The change to your contributions will be prospective.

If you leave Stryker or if coverage under the UHC Basic or Premium HSA medical plan (the high-deductible health plans) ends, no further contributions may be made through a Stryker paycheck to the HSA and you will not be eligible for any employer contributions on or after the date of your termination. The account with Optum Bank will remain open and any amounts contributed to your HSA belong to you. Health Savings Account balances are non-forfeitable and are always fully vested.
