S1NET Message Summary - 15 Jul 21

1. INFORMATION ON THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN (TSP) LIMITS AND CATCH-UP OR “SPILLOVER” CONTRIBUTIONS FOR MILITARY MEMBERS. From DFAS: DFAS recently posted information for Military Members regarding the new Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Limits and Catch-up or “Spillover” Contributions on DFAS.mil   at:  https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/tspformilitary/tspspillover/    DFAS will also issue a SmartDoc to all military members later this month. Background:  The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board implemented a new method for TSP Catch-up contributions in 2021 called TSP Spillover.  The new method eliminates the requirement for TSP participants age 50 and over to make a separate election in order to exceed the Elective Deferral Limit (EDL).   If a participant exceeds the EDL, the excess contributions to the TSP account should automatically “spillover” into the participant’s TSP account.  The EDL is $19,500 for 2021, TSP participants over 50 years of age can contribute up to $26,000.  TSP participants less than 50 years of age are not eligible to contribute in excess of the EDL.  Visit the following link for more information. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1019339
