What to expect for 2027 annual enrollment

From health and financial wellness programs to tools that help you navigate everyday life today and into 2027, you can count on many of the plans, programs and resources you know today. Most offerings are available to all employees and their families, regardless of medical plan enrollment.

Across the country, the cost of medical care and prescription drugs continues to rise, affecting employees, families, employers and health plans. Based on industry trends, health care costs are expected to increase by approximately 9% to 11%. Increases are driven by higher prices, greater use of services, new treatments and a growing need for specialized care. Honeywell Technologies remains committed to providing valuable and competitive benefits for our employees. As a result, some employee premium contributions will increase for 2027.

Beginning Oct. 12, you can review and make changes to your benefits options through the Benefits Center.

Increased health savings account (HSA) limits for 2027

Could you save more in your HSA in 2027? The HSA offers a unique triple tax advantage, because your contributions are made pretax, your investment earnings grow tax-free, and withdrawals for eligible health care expenses are tax-free.

In 2027, the updated HSA annual contribution limits set by the IRS are: 

  • $4,500 for individual coverage 
  • $9,000 for family coverage 
  • Plus up to $1,000 in catch-up contributions, if age 55+ 

These limits include contributions made by Honeywell Technologies. Annual benefits limits set by the IRS for the limited purpose FSA, dependent care FSA and commuter benefits are typically published in late October or early November.

Reminder: You MUST reenroll in the limited purpose FSA or dependent care FSA every year.
