         CHAPTER VI--FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD
 
PART 1650_METHODS OF WITHDRAWING FUNDS FROM THE THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart D_In-Service Withdrawals
 
Sec.  1650.33  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; therefore, 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 a period of six months 
after the withdrawal is processed. Therefore, the participant's 
employing agency will discontinue his or her contributions (and any 
applicable agency matching contributions) for six months after the 
agency is notified by the TSP; in the case of a FERS participant, agency 
automatic (1%) contributions will continue. A participant whose TSP 
contributions are discontinued by his or her agency after a financial 
hardship withdrawal can resume contributions any time after expiration 
of the six-month period by submitting a new TSP contribution election. 
Contributions will not resume automatically.
