Option A: Pay All to Me

Make the entire lump sum payable to me and send it to the mailing address shown below. I understand that the Office of

I have the option to roll over part or all of any taxable portion within 60 days after receipt into a traditional IRA or an eligible
employer plan.
Option B: Pay As Shown Below. If you roll over less than 100% of this distribution, the total amount that you roll over to each
organization must be at least $500. If you elect to roll any part of this distribution into your Thrift Savings account, you must comply
with the special instructions on the back of the form.
Pay $__________ to __________________________________________________________________ with no Federal income

My signature below certifies that I have made the election shown above and that I understand that distributions from the plan to which
the rollover is made may be subject to different restrictions and tax consequences than those that apply to distributions from OPM. I
also understand that if I roll over non-taxable funds into an IRA, I am responsible to account separately for the taxable and non-taxable
portions of the amount rolled over.

Instructions for Rollover to the Federal Retirement Thrift Savings Plan
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) will not accept non-taxable (post-tax) monies. You must have an open TSP account. Before the Office
of Personnel Management (OPM) can complete a rollover to your Thrift Savings account, you must sign and submit Form TSP-60,
Request for a Transfer Into the TSP, to OPM. Submit both the TSP-60 and this form, RI 38-117, at the same time. OPM will complete
its portion of the form and fax it to the Thrift Savings office for processing. The form must be approved by the Thrift Savings Board
and the Board must notify OPM to transfer the funds. This process can take two to three weeks. Form TSP-60 is available on the
internet at http://www.tsp.gov/forms.
