Many Forms Now Obsolete, Don’t Use Them, TSP Says

The TSP has issued a notice to agencies, but applying to account holders as well, saying that many of the forms it traditionally used—whether submitted hard copy or electronically—are now obsolete and should not be used.

In most cases those transactions now must be made through the My Account section of tsp.gov as a result of the revised operating system that the TSP launched last summer (and which many account holders say continues to be balky and problematic).

Transactions “using old forms will not be processed. We are also asking for your help in removing all old forms because if a participant submits an obsolete form, they will not hear back from us, and we are unable to process their transaction,” the TSP told agencies.

“New TSP forms are no longer generic and are now barcoded for individual participants,” it added, and agencies should recycle any remaining paper copies and remove links to the prior electronic versions from their websites. Click HERE to read full article.
