The Fed15 Podcast: TSP’s $1 Trillion Moment & the 2025 FEVS Cancellation
Dan covers the Thrift Savings Plan surpassing the $1 trillion mark and what this milestone means for federal retirement savings. He explains where the TSP now stands among retirement funds, then breaks down the numbers—total assets, participant count, and average TSP and FERS balances. He highlights the implications for federal employees, emphasizing strength, stability, and continued growth, while also sharing key takeaways and caveats for contributors to keep in mind.
Katelyn turns to the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, which has traditionally measured leadership, workload, morale, and engagement to guide agency management decisions. She outlines the importance of this data, why its cancellation in 2025 should concern agencies, employees, and oversight bodies, and the potential ripple effects on career and financial planning. She also points to alternative ways employees can stay informed.
