Q. I retired at age 52 from the Postal Service. When can I fully withdraw my money without a penalty? If I decide to receive monthly checks, when can I begin receiving them without any penalties?
A. Unless you qualify for one of the exceptions listed on Page 7 of the notice at https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/tsp-536.pdf, you’ll have to wait until you reach age 59½ to avoid the early withdrawal penalty.
