Re: 2015 Contribution Limits
My agency- for payroll deductions, you have to sign up separately for the regular than for the catchup, but can sign up for both at same time. when I sign up for the catch-up, it asks me if I think I will be able to put the full regular 18 in also by end of year. I say yes, spreading the 18 out across all 26-27 pp to get the full match. The catchup doesn't get matching. so I'd be worried that if you max out the regular contributions 18K in say the first 20 pp, you may not get the match for those last payperiods of the pay year, even if you are putting in the catchup still. I'm not sure the catchup, since its separate, is programmed to treat those as regular for matching purposes, if you already told payroll to max out the regular contributions earlier than that. I may be totally offbase, but I'd rather spread both sets of contributions across the entire pay year, just to make sure I don't mess it up at the end big time by maxing regular contributions too early.Originally Posted by PessOptimist

What does DFAS stand for? I want to make sure it's not the Dept of Agriculture.
Re: 2015 Contribution Limits
DFAS stands for Defense Finance and Accounting Services

Re: 2015 Contribution Limits
Does anyone know, if you front load your contributions, will you get full matching funds?
A guy I work with plans to retire in May this year. He is going to put all $18,000 into the TSP by the time he retires and believes that he will get the full matching funds on his contributions.
I thought that if you accelerate your contributions like that, you would miss out on matching fund.
Anybody know what the case is?

Re: 2015 Contribution Limits
Answering my own question. If you put in more than 5% per paycheck you don't get matching on the amount over 5% per paycheck.
