Below are some situations that might qualify for a refund based on HSA’s policies and practices:

• Account Closure: If you decide to close your HSA account, any remaining balance or associated fees charged after the closure may be eligible for a refund if the account was closed in accordance with HSA’s procedural guidelines.
• Misapplied Contributions: Contributions made to your HSA that were misapplied or deposited in error may be eligible for adjustment and potential refund based on the circumstances surrounding the deposit.
• Service Changes: If there was a change in the terms of service or fees communicated by HSA that you did not agree to or acknowledge, you may inquire about a refund for the associated charges.
• Overpaid Fees: If any fees related to account maintenance were overpaid, you may qualify for a refund for the excess amount based on HSA's fee structure policies.
• Account Maintenance: Any fees that were charged during an account maintenance period and later adjusted due to changes in HSA policy may also be eligible for a review and potential refund.

It’s essential to review your account statements and maintain open communication with HSA for any clarification regarding your eligibility for refunds. Always refer to HSA’s official policies for specific guidance tailored to your situation.
