Q. If I retire at 59, leave my money in TSP and immediately start taking monthly payments, can I leave my money there past 70 ½ and continue drawing monthly payments? Someone told me at 70 ½ I have to take it all out, but that’s not the way I understand it.
A. You were misinformed. You may leave your money in the TSP for life, as long as you take the Required Minimum Distribution each year after reaching age 70 1/2.
