TSP rollovers have their own eligibility rules and timelines. Here's how to match a company to your specific TSP balance and service status.
Military members and veterans have a specific rollover source — the Thrift Savings Plan — with its own eligibility rules and processing timeline, different from a standard 401(k). This list weighs companies partly on how accessible their minimum is relative to typical TSP balances at different career stages, not purely on general trust signals.
Before comparing companies, confirm your own TSP rollover eligibility — it depends heavily on your age and whether you're still on active duty or have separated from service. See our detailed breakdowns on TSP to Gold IRA rollovers generally and the specific in-service withdrawal rules for active-duty members.
If you're within a year or two of separation from service and know you want to do a TSP rollover, it's worth researching companies and understanding the process ahead of time so you can execute quickly once you're fully eligible, rather than starting your research from scratch after separation.
