Plain Language Summary
# PHIT Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does** The PHIT Act of 2025 (HR 2369) would allow individuals to use pre-tax dollars from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to pay for certain fitness and wellness expenses. Currently, these accounts can only be used for medical care and certain medical equipment. If passed, the bill would expand eligible uses to include gym memberships, fitness classes, sports equipment, and other physical activity-related costs, similar to how these funds can already be used for other health expenses. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily benefit workers who have access to HSAs or FSAs through their employers—mainly people with health insurance plans that allow these savings accounts.
By using pre-tax dollars for fitness expenses, eligible individuals could reduce their taxable income and potentially save money on taxes while funding their health and wellness activities. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The sponsor is Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA).
