For 2020, and assuming no one has some type of "other" coverage that would disqualify them, the contribution limit for family HDHP coverage is $7100, plus $1000 catch-up contribution for each spouse age 55 or over.  So your overall limit is $9100, BUT the $1000 catch-up can only be contributed to an account in that person's name.  You can divide the other $7100 any way you like.
