Government Executive: The board overseeing the federal government’s 401(k)-style retirement savings program voted unanimously Monday to approve a $360.6 million budget for fiscal 2019, a 16 percent increase over current spending.
There are a number of drivers behind the plan to increase spending on the Thrift Savings Plan from fiscal 2018’s level of $309.7 million, chief among them a significant influx of participants from the uniformed services following the launch of the Blended Retirement System. Since that system went live in January, more than 250,000 service members have enrolled in the TSP, bringing the participation rate to an all-time high of 54 percent of all military personnel.
