Retirement Withdrawals. Since the TSP is a retirement plan, there is no penalty for withdrawing your money during retirement. If you stop working for the federal government, you can start making retirement withdrawals when you turn 55. If you keep working for the federal government, you need to wait until you turn 59-1/2.

Whenever a payday falls on a weekend or holiday, pay is issued on the last workday preceding the 1st and the 15th. Active duty and reserve members are paid twice a month.
