BRS & TSP - Invest in Your Future

This guide explains the the Blended Retirement System (BRS). As of January 1, 2018, all new Service members are automatically enrolled in the BRS, while existing Service members could opt in during 2018. The basics of the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) are also covered — it is an integral part of the BRS, and Service members not in the BRS can also participate in it.
