Q. Can I withdraw from my TSP if I accept a VERA with 30 years of service and my age is 47, or is there a penalty? If so, how much?
A. If you separate from service before the calendar year in which you reach age 55, you will be subject to an IRS 10 percent early withdrawal penalty 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.
