TSP and continuation pay — drill deck

The match is the free part. Continuation pay is a mid-career window, not a drill-weekend bonus.

10 min · Blended Retirement System · Education only. Not a claim. Not Army or VA product.

One-pagers (single sheet)
  1. Slide 1 · The match · TOP's

    BRS pays 1% even if you contribute nothing. The next 4% requires you to contribute.

    • Legacy High-3 does not get the BRS match or continuation pay.
    • Set the percentage on TSP.gov. Login.gov. Confirm it on the LES.
    • Name a TSP beneficiary. TSP does not read the will or the DD 93.

    1 / 2 · Verify on TSP.gov before anyone enrolls.

  2. Slide 2 · Continuation pay · TOP's

    A cash payout at the mid-career window. You have to request it.

    • CY26 is at least 7 and not more than 12 years from the PEBD.
    • Check CY27 on that same page before you brief next year. The window moved in the text.
    • Army Guard on that page means Title 10 or full-time Title 32. A drill weekend does not qualify by itself.

    Speaker note: Speaker: walkthrough is /signup/brs-continuation-pay. Do not let the window close because nobody read the PEBD.
