The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for Federal Employees increased the maximum loan amount from $50,000 to $100,000 due to the CARES Act and coronavirus crisis. The online tool for processing TSP loan applications will stop accepting submissions that exceed the usual maximum amount at noon on September 22nd. Signed loan applications will be accepted until later that same day, but at midnight. Although it was originally thought to be increased until closer to November, TSP announced earlier this week that the deadline for accepting applications would be the 22nd of September.
To review which individuals are eligible for the increased loan amount, you can read STWS Advisor Jennifer Meyer’s article here.
Instructions for accessing the online tool mentioned above can be found here.
