As Gomer Pyle used to say. Is anyone really surprised that this bill didn't pass intact? Not me. What would make anyone in Fed employment think that a Democratic congress would do right by the employees? I use my sick leave when I have to, but still have plenty for an emergency. I need that "policy" as my health worsens working for Uncle Sam. I also suspect they'll all ow NSPS to continue on after this October 1st so they can continue to apply the screws to us. Oh well, less than a year and counting.

This amendment had no business on this bill. If the feds want this than pass a clean bill

The TSP is a retirement scam...especially if it is taxed now with the expected tax increases. I plan to commit only the 5% for matching. Otherwise I plan to spend my money now before inflation hits. And I will spend it out of country in places it is worth more. This administation is no less corrupt. If you think otherwise then the wool is all over your eyes!!!

I am curious to see what the mutual fund option will lead to. I don't trust the government to always do what is best for us. The more options we have the better. Even if the option is to invest in the private sector. Hopefully, we can have this option with the fund matching. However, I will not hold my breath.

Sick leave should be uses without authorization so you can retire in good mental conditions, becuase the work place these days got you under alot of pressure.

Question -- Is there a retroactive provision or will employees hired in the six months prior to enactment have to wait out the whole six months before matching contributions ?
Spouses allowed to maintain TSP accounts

Regarding "Third, A survivor benefit that would allow spouses of deceased TSP participants to maintain TSP accounts", apparently we must continue to operate under the prior 60-day requirement for our spouses to transfer our TSP into their IRA.
