have been closed, the TSP record keeper will send the participant a 
check for the entire amount of his or her account balance if the account 
balance is $5.00 or more but less than $200. The participant may not 
elect to leave this amount in the TSP, nor will the TSP transfer this

EFT. However, the participant may elect to roll over this payment into 
an eligible employer plan or traditional IRA.
