How to access my TSP account after separation

If you are no longer an employee of the federal government, you can still access your TSP account. You will need to provide your username and password to access your account.

If you have forgotten your username, you can retrieve it by clicking the “forget username” link on the login page. Enter your TSP account number on the reset page.

If you want to manage your TSP funds better, you should roll over the TSP assets to an IRA. An IRA allows you to manage your investments directly, and you get access to a large pool of assets to choose from. If you have a traditional TSP account, you won’t pay income taxes on the rollover if you are rolling over to a traditional IRA. However, if you roll over to a Roth IRA, you should expect to pay taxes on the rollover, since a Roth IRA is funded with post-tax dollars.

What type of account is my TSP account?

When you open a TSP account, you will be asked to choose between a traditional or Roth TSP account. A traditional TSP account is funded with pre-tax dollars, while a Roth TSP account is funded with post-tax funds.

You can also choose to have a blended account, which is a combination of both traditional and Roth accounts. The money in your Blended account will be invested in a way that takes into account your age and risk profile.

To change your TSP account type, you will need to contact TSP via ThriftLine at 1-877-968-3778. You will then be able to speak with a representative who can help you change your account type.
