Human Resources: ACS Extends Leadership Position as Health Savings Accounts Administrator

DALLAS, TEXAS: May 20, 2009 – Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) added more than 250,000 Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) in the past year as more employers offer this tax-free benefit to reduce health care costs to enable their employees to purchase medical services.

During this period, total HSA assets in accounts administered by ACS increased 52 percent and the average individual account grew by more than 16 percent. ACS currently administers more than 650,000 HSAs, representing approximately 1.5 million people who are taking advantage of the tax-free medical savings account.

“In today’s health care economy, HSAs continue to grow as more consumers understand the tax advantages of these accounts, and more employers recognize them as an effective strategy to manage health care costs,” said Gregg Larson, ACS HSA national product leader.

ACS is cited as the top HSA administrator, in terms of number of HSA accounts, by both Inside Consumer-Directed Care and Consumer Driven Market Report, industry publications tracking the HSA marketplace.
