Beneficiary

Questions and answers

OPM does not administer TSP benefits. The experts at the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board provided this answer:

“No. A participant can designate any individual, an organization, a trust, or a will as a beneficiary.”

OPM does administer the Federal Employee Life Insurance (FEGLI) program. You can name anyone you want as a beneficiary of your FEGLI life insurance coverage.
