In a recent bulletin, the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) announced that the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) has created new forms and online tools and made prior versions of some old forms obsolete.
(See below for a consolidated list from the TSP of obsolete forms affected by the transition.)
“We advise agencies not to use forms or links to forms included in previous bulletins as transactions submitted after transition using old forms will not be processed,” the bulletin said. “If a participant submits an obsolete form, they will not hear back from us, and we are unable to process their transaction.”
The TSP said new new forms are no longer generic and are now barcoded for individual participants.
Participants can complete most TSP transactions online by logging into the “My Account” section which has tools and and instructions to request withdrawals and distributions, designate beneficiaries, change TSP investments, and more.
The most recent version of TSP forms and resources are located on the TSP.gov website here.
