Last year, EBRI and Greenwald Research conducted a survey to gauge employee interest in a new type of health account similar to a health savings account (HSA) and found strong enthusiasm among employees for such an account. Like an HSA, this new type of account could be funded by employees and employers, could be invested in the stock market, and would be portable and follow the worker from job to job, but it would differ from an HSA in that contributions would be made after tax and it could be paired with any health plan, not just one with a high deductible. This week's Fast Fact explores both employer and employee interest in this type of account as shown by survey data.
