Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board

Rule Changes

Issued the final rule on court orders affecting TSP accounts

Once a court orders money out of a Thrift Savings Plan account, that payment is final. The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board published a final rule October 22 reinstating 5 CFR 1653.5(l), which states plainly that a properly paid court order payment cannot be returned to the TSP.
