The Thrift Savings Plan is happy to offer a free e-mail subscription service. This service allows participants to receive notifications by e-mail when new information is available on the TSP Web site. With this service, you automatically receive an e-mail when there is new or updated information on the TSP Web site for items of interest to you — without having to visit the TSP Web site to check for changes.
This is a free service sponsored by the TSP and provided through GovDelivery. Your e-mail address will be used to notify you when updates are made; it will not be used for any other purpose by the TSP.

Thrift Savings Plan Improves Security

The Thrift Savings Plan will begin using account numbers to improve individual account holder security effective in October 2007. TSP officials are mailing new account numbers to participants in September replacing the use of Social Security numbers. Account holders will use their account number and TSP Web password or ThriftLine personal identification number to log into the Account Access section of the TSP website or the ThriftLine. To prepare for this change, all account holders should make sure the TSP has their correct mailing address. Active-duty military members can update their address via the Defense Finance and Accounting Service myPay Web application.
