TSP Automatic Enrollment Percentage Increase - www.tsp.gov
www.tsp.gov
New participants will be automatically enrolled in the TSP at 5% of their pay. This change also includes Blended Retirement System (BRS) participants automatically re-enrolled in the TSP on or after January 1, 2021. The increase will allow new participants to get the full matching contributions from their agency or service. If you are currently an active participant and are not contributing at least 5%, then you’re missing out on free money. Increase your percentage today by logging in to your electronic payroll system and upping your contribution amount.
New Lifecycle (L) Funds Available to TSP Participants - www.tsp.gov
www.tsp.gov
Target dates in five year increments. Ten L funds available: L 2065, L 2060, L 2055, L 2050, L 2045, L 2040, L 2035, L 2030, L 2025, and L Income. We’re adding more L Funds so that the target dates will be separated by only five years instead of ten. Say you plan to retire within a year or two of 2035. Without these additional options, you’d have to choose between the L 2030 Fund and the L 2040 Fund, or maybe split your account between the two. The new L 2035 Fund will allow you to more precisely target the time when you think you’ll need your money.
