Think of it as a fund for future medical needs. Contributions are made into your HSA either by the account owner (you) or, in some cases, your employer, similar to a retirement plan or other types of savings accounts. The money you contribute into this account can be used to pay for any current or future health care cost, including elective procedures, emergency treatments, major surgeries, and the like. These contributions are taken out on a pre-tax basis, and may be able to be claimed as deductions on your taxes the following year.

Generally speaking, you can use a health savings account to pay for any qualified medical expense. “Qualified medical expenses”, as defined by the IRS, include medical care, vision care, dental care, prescription drug expenses and payment for long term care services .

To open an HSA, you must have a qualifying high deductible health plan (HDHP) and meet other IRS eligibility requirements, unless an exception applies. You cannot be covered by any other health plan that is not an HDHP. You cannot be currently enrolled in Medicare and you cannot be claimed as a dependent on another individual’s tax return.

Any remaining balance automatically rolls over year after year.

Credit Sense is a comprehensive Credit Score program offered by Rhode Island Credit Union to online banking users that helps you stay on top of your credit. You get your latest credit score and report, an understanding of key factors that impact the score, and can see the most up to date offers that can help reduce your interest costs. With this program, you always know where you stand with your credit and how Rhode Island Credit Union can help save you money. Credit Score also monitors your credit report daily and informs you by email if there are any big changes detected such as: a new account being opened, change in address or employment, a delinquency has been reported or an injury has been made. Monitoring helps users keep an eye out for identity theft.

A Credit Sense Credit Report provides you all the information you would find on your credit file including a list of open loans, accounts and credit inquiries. You will also be able to see details on your payment history, credit utilization and public records that show up on your account. Like Credit Score, when you check your credit file, there will be no impact to your score.

No. Credit Sense is entirely free. Log in as often as you want to check your score, which is updated monthly.

No. When you check Credit Sense in Access 24, it is a “soft inquiry,” which does not affect credit scores. A “hard inquiry” is what appears in a credit report. Hard inquiries are used by lenders when members apply for loans to make decisions about their creditworthiness. Too many hard inquiries may lower a credit score.

As long as you are a regular online banking user, your credit score will be updated every month and displayed in your online banking screen. You can click “refresh score” as frequently as every day by navigating to the detailed Credit Sense site from within online banking.

Credit Sense pulls your credit profile from TransUnion, one of the three major credit reporting bureaus, and uses VantageScore 3.0, a credit scoring model developed collaboratively by the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This model seeks to make score information more uniform between the three bureaus to provide consumers a better picture of their credit health.

There are three major credit-reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian and Transunion—and two scoring models—FICO or VantageScore—that determine credit scores. Financial institutions use different bureaus, as well as their own scoring models. Over 200 factors of a credit report may be taken into account when calculating a score and each model may weigh credit factors differently, so no scoring model is completely identical. No matter what credit bureau or credit scoring model is used, consumers do fall into specific credit ranges: Excellent 781–850, Good 661-780, Fair 601-660, Unfavorable 501-600, Bad Below 500.

A Traditional IRA allows you to save for retirement with tax-deferred earnings and the possibility of tax-deductible contributions.

A Roth IRA is an individual retirement arrangement that allows you to make after-tax (nondeductible) contributions with the potential to take completely tax-free deductions.

You can withdraw the money anytime, subject to income tax. An IRS penalty tax also may apply unless you are age 59.5 or older. If you are age 73 or older, you must withdraw a required minimum amount each year to avoid penalty taxes.

You can withdraw the money from your Roth IRA anytime. Depending on when you take the money out and what type of Roth IRA assets (contributions, conversion or rollover amounts, or earnings) are included in the distribution, you may be subject to income tax and an IRS penalty tax. But if you have a "qualified distribution" all assets are tax and penalty free.

You can contribute to your Roth or Traditional IRA until the due date for filing your federal income tax return for the year (generally April 15th).

Yes. But the contribution amounts that you make to both types of IRAs for the same year cannot total more than your annual contribution limit.
