What is the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)?

While the TSP can be a powerful tool, many federal employees find themselves asking these important questions:

  • How should I invest within my TSP?
  • Should I leave it in the TSP or roll it into an IRA for more flexibility?
  • What happens to my TSP when I retire?
