I changed jobs and have an HRA from my former employer that has a spend-down feature. How does it affect my new HSA?
The spend-down feature lets you continue to use the money in the HRA from your previous employer, but your employer cannot make new contributions to the HRA. You cannot open or contribute to your new HSA until the HRA dollars are spent and the current plan year for the HRA is over. You can enroll in the new HDHP, but not set up the HSA until that time.
