Did You Know: PAFCU Offers HSAs
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a special account owned by an individual used to pay for current and future medicalexpenses. HSAs are used in conjunction with a “High Deductible Health Plan” (HDHP). With a Health Savings Account you
can roll money saved from year to year. Distributions of an HSA are tax-free if taken for “qualified medical expenses.”
To see if you are eligible for an HSA or for full details, visit www.ustreas.gov.
Tips on Protecting Yourself Against ID Theft
PAFCU would like to help you guard against identity thieves. Here’s what some experts recommend:• If mailing personal checks, do not place them in your home mailbox. Mail them at the post office.
This will prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
• Make sure your computer is protected with anti-virus and anti-spyware. Remember to keep it updated.
• Buy a shredder. Shred any unneeded mail and documents that contain personal information.
Spend a little more on your shedder purchase and buy a crosscut shedder.
• Change your passwords at least once a year, including your online banking.
• Pay attention to phishing schemes.
• Remember to check your credit report at least once a year.
To help our members protect their identities, PAFCU is hosting a Shredding Day. Visit PAFCU in Hauppauge on
Saturday, April 10 from 10 am – 12 pm. A shredding truck will be available to shed members’ personal documents.
There will be a limit of 3 boxes per member.
