§ 1650.7 - Monthly cycle for withdrawal payments.

The value of a TSP account is determined at approximately mid-month, as of the end of the preceding month, after earnings are allocated to the account. TSP transactions that require valued account balances, such as withdrawals, can only occur after the value of an account has been determined. Because of this, withdrawal payments are generally made once a month, during what is known as the “mid-month processing cycle.”
