Blended Retirement System

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 introduced the Blended Retirement System. This military retirement system blends the traditional legacy retirement pension with a defined contribution to service members’ Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) accounts. The opt-in period for the majority of service members closed Dec. 31, 2018. However, it's still important that you learn how to maximize your retirement choice through the information found below.
