Monthly withdraw

0

Q. I would like to take $3,000 monthly from my TSP when I retire for the first few years, then I start collecting Social Security can I reduce my monthly payment? Then later on change the monthly amount again? I thought I read I can change my TSP payment once a year, but have been hearing from others who have retired you only have a choice of lump sum, annuity, partial lump sum and the rest in monthly payments of your choice, but it stays the same for life.
A. If you elect fixed monthly payments, you may change your payment amount once per year by submitting form TSP-73. The form must be submitted by Dec. 15 to effect a change starting in January.
