BRS & TSP – Invest in Your Future

This book explains the new Blended Retirement System (BRS), in effect as of January 1, 2018. It will help current Service members choose whether or not to opt in to the BRS or to remain under the existing legacy retirement system. It's also a handy reference for anyone who joins the military in 2018 and is automatically covered by the BRS. The basics of the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) -- an integral part of the BRS -- are covered in the second part of the guide.
