In June of 2022 The Thrift Savings Plan, which is the retirement plan available for all military and federal workers, is being updated with many big changes. There will be a lot of cosmetic changes, a new website design, a new mobile app, and improved online process for completing paperwork for rollovers and withdrawals.
