§ 1606.15 - Time limits on participant claims.

(a) Participant claims for lost earnings pursuant to § 1606.14 must be filed within six months of the participant's receipt of the earliest of a TSP participant statement, TSP loan statement, employing agency earnings and leave statement, or any other document that indicates that an employing agency error has affected the participant's TSP account.

(b) Nothing in this section changes the provision of paragraph (d) of § 1606.11 that no lost earnings shall be payable with respect to delayed contributions unless and until the contributions are submitted to the TSP recordkeeper in accordance with 5 CFR part 1605, nor does anything in this section extend any time limits for correcting contributions under 5 CFR part 1605. Thus, notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this section, if a participant is unable to have contributions corrected due to time limits contained in 5 CFR part 1605, no lost earnings shall be payable with respect to those contributions.
