TSP options at age 70½

By Mike Miles on April 19, 2016 TSP, TSP withdrawal

Q. I retired 20 years ago from federal service and left my TSP funds intact. Now approaching the age of 70½, what are my withdrawal options?

A. You may take a partial lump-sum withdrawal, using form TSP-77, if you have not yet taken one, or you may request a full withdrawal using form TSP-70. The full withdrawal may take the form of a lump sum, monthly payments or some combination of the two.

IF YOUR QUESTION IS NOT ANSWERED

Federal Times’ experts answer as many readers’ questions as possible but, due to the volume of e-mail, they cannot answer every question submitted. You’ll have the best chance of getting an answer to your question if you follow these steps:

• Ask questions that have not previously been answered. Before submitting a question, review the Q&As already on the site by using "search" above.

• Ask questions that fall within each expert’s scope of expertise. Reg Jones, for example will answer questions about federal civilian benefits; he will not answer questions about military benefits.

• Provide sufficient information about yourself — for instance, a question about retirement should say which retirement system you are in.

• Do not expect personal legal, financial or career advice. Answers that require a legal opinion, particularly those involving divorce and court orders, cannot be provided.
