Q. I retired September 2013 in CSRS after 40-1/2 years. I want to take out a one-time distribution equal to about 25 percent of my TSP account. Is is true I can only take out a one-time distribution or payout? I am over 59-1/2.
A. You are limited to one partial lump-sum withdrawal and a full withdrawal, which may be taken in the form of monthly payments. You must take the partial lump-sum withdrawal before beginning monthly payments.
