My situation: I married by husband in June 2015. Marriage opened up a special eligibility and we switched to a HDHP/HSA via my work. He was a student so he switched from student insurance to my employer insurance. We contributed the maximum $6650 to the HSA for 2015 based on the "last month rule".
I understand that we both need to have a HDHP/HSA throughout 2016 after making contributions under the "last month rule" in 2015. However, now I graduated from fellowship and he graduated from his professional school and we both start new jobs August 2016. It may be less expensive for us to be covered individually rather than to do a family plan via one of our employers. If we each switch to an individual HDHP through our respective employers and therefore we are not covered under a family HDHP for all of 2016, then would we fail the "Testing period"? We do not have children to cover with insurance.
