IRS contribution limits for 2010 — The IRS limits have not changed for 2010. The IRS permits you to contribute up to $16,500 in tax-deferred money to the TSP for 2010. If you are a member of the uniformed services, you may contribute a total of $49,000 in tax-deferred and tax-exempt money. If you will be age 50 or older during 2010, you may also contribute up to $5,500 in additional “catch-up” contributions if your regular contributions for the year are expected to reach the $16,500 limit.
Third quarter 2009 participant statements — Your third quarter TSP participant statement, which covers the period from July 1 through September 30, 2009, is now available on this website. Copies of the statement have also been mailed to those participants who have specifically requested them. To be notified whenever new participant statements are added to this website, you can sign up at "Get E-mail Updates" on the home page.
No more waiting period for agency contributions — All FERS employees are now eligible to receive agency contributions. There is no longer a waiting period for receiving Agency Automatic (1%) Contributions or Matching Contributions.
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 receive your statement in the mail, please notify us through the Account Access section of the TSP website or by using 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 2010 TSP Highlights.
