Sec. 839.213  May I make a retirement coverage election if I withdrew all or part of my TSP account after I was corrected to FERS?

    (a) You may not make a retirement coverage election if your 
qualifying retirement coverage error was previously corrected to FERS, 
and you later received one of the following TSP withdrawals:
    (1) A TSP annuity after separation from service, but before 
receiving a FERS annuity; or
    (2) A single payment or monthly payments after separation from 
service; or
    (3) An age-based in-service withdrawal.

    (b) If you received an automatic cashout of your TSP account after 
you separated (because your account balance was $3,500 or less), or if 
you received a financial hardship in-service withdrawal, you may make a 
retirement coverage election.
