The Official Date for the changes to TSP withdrawal options has been set- it will be in place on September 15, 2019. Yes!! )
Below is a fact sheet now posted on the TSP website, that I've clipped into a JPG document for quick reading here.
. Withdrawal requests suspension period
As we prepare for the upcoming launch of new, flexible TSP withdrawal options, we will temporarily stop accepting withdrawal requests after September 6, 2019. The suspension period will extend from September 7 – 14, 2019. Therefore, if you need to withdraw money before the withdrawal changes take effect, we must receive your properly completed request by 11:59 p.m. eastern time on September 6, 2019. We will resume accepting withdrawal requests on September 15, 2019.
We will continue to accept loan requests and other forms not related to withdrawals during this time. This transition period allows us to finish processing withdrawal requests we receive before the rules change and prepare to accept new requests after the new withdrawal options go into effect on September 15.
To find out more about how improvements to TSP withdrawals may benefit you, read our fact sheet Questions and Answers about Changes to TSP Withdrawal Options (pdf). If you were planning on making a withdrawal soon, consider waiting until September 15 or later so that you can use more secure online tools in My Account and take advantage of more flexible options.

Hoping I have the option of stopping for a while and then starting back up - just read overview, don't know if it will have "open season" or not -- if not sweet (I punched at 56, bought my retired military (took early retirement 17 years enlisted) so had 37 years total - but my FERS supplement is much lower than my SSA will be in a couple of years and my VA disability has gone up, so I need less of my TSP and I hope to make that last until my mid 80's at which time I shouldn't need it - if I can reduce it or even stop it during down trends in market I can make it last much longerEspecially timely for me. I'm thinking about retiring soon- hit my MRA and years back about 6 months ago. Decided to wait until at least after this change comes into effect- because I'm not going to have enough cash on hand/leave payout to last for the four or five months it takes to get the retirement payments sorted out- and I wanted to get the TSP to be able to hold me over until my Army National Guard retirement kicks in next August. THEN, I can readjust my TSP withdrawls (if needed) to align better with my actual cash needs.
I am thankful these changes are hitting right now.

If your traditional TSP is invested in G (50%), C (25%) and S (25%), how is money withdrawn from your account? Is it withdrawn proportionately?
Example: if you want $5000 monthly, is $2500 withdrawn from G and $1250 each from C and S funds?
Good information. Thanks.TSP's Response: "This responds to your inquiry of September 15, 2019, concerning your Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) account. You asked if your withdrawal is made proportionally from each of your investment funds.
Your understanding is correct. Any withdrawal that you make from your TSP account will be disbursed from each of the funds you are invested in based upon the percentage of your balance in each of those funds."
Being able to make changes to my monthly withdrawal on-line will be great
