Thrift Savings Plan - Unclaimed Government Retirement Benefits |
|---|
| Unclaimed
government retirement funds are not declared abandoned unless
unclaimed by the employee's 115th birthday or 30 years
after death; but virtually no effort is made to find lost
employees owed government pension benefits.
Records on two million former Civil Service workers are not automated, but rather stored in some 35,000 file cabinets by alphabetical order. This system does not permit sorting by age, a likely indicator of unclaimed and unpaid benefits. Many government employee records at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Retirement Operations Center are not computerized, making it virtually impossible for the government to determine when a federal retirement benefit goes unclaimed and unpaid. Unclaimed federal retirement benefits - including Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) distributions, a defined-contribution plan created by the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 to supplement Federal Employees Retirement System benefits - will not show up in a standard state unclaimed property search.
