National Save for Retirement Week Celebrate “National Save for Retirement Week” October 19 through 25 by reviewing your investment strategy and congratulating yourself for saving for your future through the TSP.

Online loan payments If using an online banking service to make a TSP loan payment, make sure your TSP account number and your loan number are included on the check, or the check will be returned to the issuer.  Also, be sure that your online banking service has your current address.

Customized user IDs You can now create and use a customized user ID instead of your TSP account number when you log into Account Access.

Monthly payments schedule change Beginning this month, the TSP will no longer distribute monthly payments on the first, second, or third day of the month.  Monthly payments previously distributed on those days will NOW be distributed on the fourth day of the month.  Participants affected by this change were notified in July.

Opting out of mailed annual statements Annual TSP participant statements will be posted on this Web site early next year. If you do not want to also receive your statement in the mail, let us know through Account Access or the Account Menu of the ThriftLine. Even if you opt out of receiving a mailed statement, we will still mail you an annual letter from the Executive Director of the TSP, along with a copy of the January 2009 TSP Highlights.
