The FY2000 National Defense Authorization Act provided authority to members of the armed services to participate in the federal thrift savings plan , whose structure is similar to the Civil Service Retirement System. A cost analysis by the Federal Thrift Retirement Investment Board found that extending the TSP to reservists is a poor idea because of the excessive cost of administering many small accounts. However, the authors conclude that although reserve TSP accounts are likely to be numerous and small on average, a relatively small number of reservists are likely to participate and reserve accounts will be large of prior service personnel can transfer their active-duty balances.
