Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board was established as an independent agency of the United States government by the Federal Employees Retirement System Act of 1986. It is one of the smaller Executive Branch agencies, with just over 100 employees. It was established to administer the Thrift Savings Plan, which provides Federal employees the opportunity to save for additional retirement security. The Thrift Savings Plan is a tax-deferred defined contribution plan similar to a private sector 401(k) plan. The Thrift Savings Plan is one of the three parts of the Federal Employees Retirement System.
