Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board April 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Executive Director of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (Board) proposes to amend the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) regulations to accommodate new TSP lifecycle investment allocation funds, eliminate references to open seasons (which Congress repealed), and to require participants to file all death benefit beneficiary designation forms with the TSP record keeper. The Executive Director also proposes to remove obsolete and unhelpful provisions from the regulations, eliminate references to TSP form numbers, notify TSP participants of a new mailing address for loan payments, and otherwise make the regulations easier to understand.
