Q. I am 52 (FERS employee with 29 years of service including military buyback) planning on retiring at age 59-60. I have $400,000 in my Thrift Savings Plan account. I’m not sure that I’ll need TSP right away but want to have the option. My coworkers insist I can’t withdraw before 65, but I can’t find anything that indicates such a restriction. Are there any restrictions other than the 59½ rule that would affect me?
A. No.
