Can my HSA be used to pay premiums?

Generally, HSA funds may not be used to pay for health insurance premiums tax-free. However, there are exceptions for some premiums that are eligible medical expenses for an HSA. You may use your HSA funds to pay for health insurance premiums if you are collecting Federal or State unemployment benefits, have COBRA continuation coverage through a former employer, or have Medicare part A, B, C, or D (supplemental medical coverage premiums do not qualify).
