Q. I am separated from federal service, and I want to roll my Thrift Savings Plan funds over into two or three separate IRAs at one or more brokerage houses. Am I allowed to make two or three partial withdrawals and roll each portion into separate IRAs? Are there time restrictions such as only being permitted to make one such transfer in a 12-month period?
A. You are not allowed to take multiple partial withdrawals from your TSP account. You may roll the money over to an IRA and then roll over partial withdrawals from there to additional IRA accounts.
