Good question; I'll find out.

For security reasons, your session has expired due to inactivity.
Please use this link to return to the login page.

With DSL & two MSIE pages open, one on TSP Talk, and one on TSP.GOV... I was able to perform an IFT with 4 minutes of complete inactivity on the TSP.GOV page; Email addresses loaded & amount select. Cancelled the transaction.

Do you need more than 4 minutes to execute?

Hope I didn't screw up my COB Wednesday IFT to the I in the process. If so, oh well.

The amount of time needed to execute is not the issue really. Just for setting up prior to executing is the issue. I will usually have my SS# and my password typed in on the sign in page but without logging in and minimize that page. it can then wait indefinatly. I will copy my email address to a right click on my mouse. Then when ready to make a change I maximize the page,click log in, click Interfund Transfer, copy and paste my email twice and then ready to go. I was just wondering what the timeout was and how other people handle the issue. Shaving seconds off of process can be helpfull.

PS: Show-me, Sorry I confused the original question. I ment TSP.gov site all along when I had originally only typed TSP site when I first posted the question.
