THE U.S. UNIFORMED SERVICES BLENDED RETIREMENT SYSTEM

 

SAVING WITH THE NEW BLENDED RETIREMENT SYSTEM

The Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act provides our military force with a modernized retirement plan built for retirement savings. Beginning in 2018, our service members can get automatic and matching Thrift Savings Plan contributions as well as mid-career compensation incentives in addition to a monthly annuity for life. All service members under the current system are grandfathered into today’s retirement system.
