You can borrow from your Thrfit Savings Plan (TSP) account if:

• You have at least $1,000 of your own contributions and associated earnings in your account. Agency contributions (and earnings on that money) cannot be borrowed.
• You are currently employed as a Federal civilian employee or member of the uniformed services. (Separated and retired TSP participants are not eligible.)
• You are in pay status. (Loan payments are deducted from your pay.)
• You have not repaid a TSP loan (of the same type) in full within the past 60 days.
• You have not had a taxable distribution on a loan within the past 12 months, unless the taxable distribution resulted from your separation from Federal service.
• You can borrow from your TSP account even if you have stopped contributing
  your own money.
