Sec. 1650.32  Contributing to the TSP after an in-service withdrawal.

    (a) A participant's TSP contribution election will not be affected 
by an age-based in-service withdrawal; there fore, his or her TSP 
contributions will continue without interruption.
    (b) A participant who obtains a financial hardship in-service 
withdrawal may not contribute to the TSP for any pay date falling within 
a period of six months, beginning on the 46th day after the date of the 
withdrawal and ending 180 days after this beginning date; therefore, his 
or her TSP contributions (and any applicable matching contributions) 
will be discontinued by his or her agency upon notification by the TSP. 
A participant whose TSP contributions were discontinued by his or her 
agency because of a hardship withdrawal can resume contributions any 
time after expiration of the six month period by submitting a new TSP

Election Form (TSP-1). If a participant voluntarily terminated TSP 
contributions, he or she can resume contributions at the expiration of 
the six-month period, or in the next open season during which the 
participant would be eligible to submit a new Form TSP-1, whichever is 
later.
