Health Savings for Families Act of 2023

This bill amends tax code rules to allow married individuals to contribute to their own health flexible spending account (FSA) even if their spouse already has an FSA. It permits these contributions provided the combined reimbursements for both spouses do not exceed the total eligible expenses that would apply if the spouse's account didn't exist. The change applies to health savings plans starting in 2024, affecting married taxpayers with dual FSA coverage. It clarifies the reimbursement limits without creating new benefits or altering existing FSA structures.
