I checked after 5 weekdays ( the typical time for processing ) and the transaction was still pending, which I attributed to the holidays. I rechecked the next day and the transaction was gone. I looked under help tickets on my account and found that BoA had opened a help ticket which stated that my account was closed -/-/- due to inactivity and since it had been more than 180 days, they would need verification that I still had an HSA-eligible insurance plan. To my knowledge, I was never informed of the account closing. Also, I was able to make the contribution as I always had in the past-there was no flag on my account that it was closed.

As of -/-/- CST, I have received no call. I checked my account online and all my help tickets were listed as " resolved '' and under account balance " no record found '' is notated. I have initiated a help ticket of my own on the BoA site and am now filing a complaint with CFPB as BoA HSA is holding my funds in the amount of $3300.00 without any notice or plan for resolution. In addition, due to their error in setting up my HSA account, I am currently being blocked from utilizing it in order to process past medical claims that I have paid directly.
