Help for Louisiana storm victims — (September 2, 2016) The TSP has made a temporary change to the financial hardship withdrawal rules for participants affected by the recent storms in Louisiana: As of September 2, 2016, we will treat any Financial Hardship In-Service Withdrawal Request as a qualifying hardship and will waive the rule prohibiting employee contributions for 6 months after taking a hardship withdrawal provided one of the following is true:
1. Your primary residence or place of employment is located in a covered disaster area and has incurred a loss as a result of the recent Louisiana storms.
OR
2. Your hardship withdrawal will be used to assist an eligible family member who lives or works in a covered disaster area and who has incurred a loss as a result of the recent Louisiana storms.
IN ADDITION, you must also meet all of the following requirements:
- You must be actively employed as a federal civilian or a member of the uniformed services.
- You must complete Form TSP-76,
Financial Hardship In-Service Withdrawal Request. - You must write "Louisiana Storms" at the top of page 1 above the name of the form.
- You must check the "Personal Casualty Loss" box on page 2, Item 18 of your request form, as the reason for requesting financial hardship.
- Your request must be received in our office by January 10, 2017 and, in compliance with IRS guidelines, your distribution must occur before January 17, 2017. Any Financial Hardship In-Service Withdrawal Request forms received after January 10, 2017 will be processed as a standard hardship withdrawal, and your TSP contributions will automatically stop for 6 months.
