Multiple Choice

Under BRS, the DoD begins matching contributions up to an additional what percent of base pay after how many years of service?

Under the Blended Retirement System, the DoD’s contributions to your TSP come in two parts. After you complete one year of service, the government automatically contributes 1% of your base pay. After you reach two years, the DoD begins matching your own TSP contributions up to an additional 4% of base pay. So, the matching begins at two years and can go up to 4% of base pay (with the automatic 1% always there, totaling up to 5% government contribution if you contribute at least 4%). This is why the option stating four percent after two years is the best fit.
