In Revenue Procedure 2024-25, the IRS released the calendar year 2025 inflation-adjusted dollar amounts for health savings accounts (HSAs) and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs), along with the maximum annual amount that may be made newly available for excepted benefit health reimbursement arrangements (EB-HRAs) for plan years beginning in 2025. The amounts are updated annually to reflect cost-of-living adjustments.

Employers should consider these amounts when planning for 2025, as the changes will likely affect benefit plan administration and communication materials.
