Q. If I have more than 240 hours of annual leave when I retire, will I be allowed to cash that amount in also, or will I have to take the leave before retirement? If I retire at the end of a calendar year, will I be able to cash in my annual so that it is taxed the following calendar year? Does this also apply to TSP?
A. You may delay your TSP withdrawals for as long as you like, subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules that apply beginning at age 70½.
