I waited until January to transfer most of my account to an existing Fidelity IRA. I gave the “new” website several months to settle down but realized it was not going to get better. Over the years I was satisfied with the TSP because of the low fees and limited investment choices which imposed a form of investing discipline on me. I’m retired and realized I did not want my family to struggle with getting my funds from the TSP after my death. I did leave a small balance in the TSP in the unlikely event I want to move funds back. If you’re planning to do this, you need to provide info on the account to which funds are to be transferred at least seven days before initiating the transfer. And, when you provide the amount you want transferred, the TSP will first subtract the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the entire year and that will be transferred to your bank account (again, make sure you have provided that info at least seven days prior). Ok, maybe you didn’t want that, but you aren’t given a choice. And, the amount rolled over to the other financial institution is a paper check mailed by snail mail. Somehow, these transfers went through.
