Thrift Savings Board Report

Do we have to seperate from Fed service to transfer to a Roth, or can it happen at anytime? Do we have to transfer the whole amount? Thanks

Don't know, I probably won't transfer mine to an IRA after I retire so I haven't looked into it. Monthly that's the way I will go. Then I can still manage my balance just like i'm doing now. Hopefully I will learn more in between now and then.

From TSP Talk: Because of the holiday on Friday, if you want to make a change that will be effective Monday morning you will want to make your transaction before Thursday's deadline.

From tsp.gov:
Veteran's Day, November 10, 2006 — Although November 10th is a Federal holiday, the stock and bond markets will be open. In addition, we have been advised by the Department of the Treasury that it will be open to accept our investments in the G Fund. Therefore, the TSP will be operating on a limited business schedule on November 10th.

• Share prices will be calculated as of close of business on November 10th and account balances will be updated.

• Transactions made on this Web site or the ThriftLine by 12 noon eastern time on Friday, November 10th will be processed that night.

The TSP call centers will be closed on November 10th.

What if we want to IFT to the I-fund before noon Friday (to be in for Monday), will it go through?

I believe TSP's use of the term "limited business schedule" is confusing everyone. They should have said "business as usual" except customer service will not be available.

Basically, Friday is just like every other Friday.
