NFFE logo Let's Talk Retirement There are three times in your career when you should take retirement training: 1) When you are a new hire or early career so that you can set yourself up to be able to retire. 2) Mid-career to make sure you' re still on the right path 3) Late-career so you have a smooth departure into the next adventure Remember to contribute 5% to your traditional or ROTH accounts per payperiod to recieve the full agency match. If you hit $24,500 before pp24 (December 12, 2026) and you're not eligible for catch up or choose to not participate in catch-up- you don't get agency match for the rest of the year Life happens and sometimes we need to make catchup payments to our TSP accounts.

(The new catch-up law only applies if you made more than 150k in tax year 2025- please see the email for details) Standard Limit The standard elective deferral limit increased to $24,500. The agency match is in addition to this. Catch-Up Limits Ages 50+ you can contribute an additional $8,000 for a total of $32,500.

We know it can be rough setting aside retirement, especially at a lower graded point in your career, but there's #FreeMoney involved, so we strongly recommend atleast making the min 5% contribution to maximize your match.
Future you, will thank current you.
