Government Shutdown and the TSP

[FireWeatherMet]

I apologize for posting this here, still having difficulty navigating around the forums.
My question is: WILL WE BE ABLE TO FREELY MAKE CHANGES IN OUR TSP ALLOCATIONS VIA TSP.GOV IF THERE IS A SHUTDOWN?

Hey FWM. My guess is the TSP is essential. It's never been closed before during other shutdowns.

Government shutdown: House passes stopgap funding bill, sends it to Senate for vote

The House of Representatives approved a bipartisan bill to fund the government for three months and provide disaster relief and farm aid.

The vote caps off several days of chaos during which House Speaker Mike Johnson tried and failed to meet the demands of President-elect Donald Trump.

For all CSRS, looks as if the WEP could have made it through the Senate?

Looks like it is done deal, question is how long will it take to implement & how will that work. Does not impact me but it would my mother.

Once it is signed probably 2-3 months. I know when I applied for social security, they sent what my numbers where before and after WEP. I wouldn't think it would take too long. It would be a few hundred more a month for me.
