The IRS takes the position that the money you contribute to the Retirement Plan is to be used as income after you retire. While the IRS encourages your participation by allowing you to make Contributions and receive associated earnings on a taxed-deferred basis, there are restrictions on when you may access accumulated funds.

Not necessarily, although that’s what most plans require. If your employer terminates your retirement plan or if you become disabled, you may be given an opportunity to take a distribution. Also, some profit-sharing plans permit you to draw on your retirement plan money after a fixed number of years, or upon reaching a certain age, such as 59-1/2 or the plan’s designated retirement age.

Yes. Receiving a lump sum or other distribution from your pension plan may affect your ability to receive unemployment compensation. You should check with your state unemployment office.

No. Once you begin participation in the plan you may not withdraw. Please note that if you terminate your employment after becoming eligible for an Early Retirement benefit, and you choose to withdraw your contributions from the Plan, you will forfeit your right to a deferred benefit under the plan.

Unless you choose FERS, there is no additional cost to you. If you choose FERS, you will only incur additional costs if you decide to make additional TSP contributions (known as make-up contributions). These are contributions that you could have made if you had been correctly covered by FERS. Of course, youre the one who chooses how much additional contributions you want to make. You will get Social Security credit for all that work, and it wont cost you anything.

By saving in the plan, you take advantage of two tax benefits. One is that your contributions are conveniently deducted from your pay before taxes. The second is that since your reportable income is reduced, you pay less in current income taxes. Other advantages are that it is a convenient savings plan, your money grows tax-deferred, and you don't have immediate access to the money to spend it like a bank savings account.

You can choose from several options once you decide to start taking the money out of the plan. One is to terminate the plan, and roll your money into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Income taxes must be paid when distributions are received.
