Once it's in your HSA it goes with you, regardless of health care later (which also makes a lot of sense since a big use of HSA is during the Medicare years, and Medicare itself isn't a qualifying plan to make HSA contributions).
Thanks for the response; I'll definitely check with the new HR department should I take the job. Given Medicare requirements prohibit one from contributing to an HSA for six months prior to enrolling, I'm wondering if it might make sense to either enroll later this year, or possibly to front-end load my 2025 contributions next year to my first few pay checks, and then enroll sometime mid-2025. So far at least, I have yet to see a compelling reason to enroll in Medicare when I have a corporate health care plan, but by the same token, I haven't heavily researched it either.
