                                 H.R.   3031
                      TSP   Modernization   Act  of 2017

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                                on July 19, 2017


H.R. 3031 would expand the withdrawal options for participants in the Thrift Savings
Plan (TSP), the federal government's defined-contribution retirement plan. Currently,
employees may only make one partial withdrawal after they turn 5912 while employed or
one such withdrawal after they retire. Enacting H.R. 3031 would allow an unlimited
number of such withdrawals.

The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimate that enacting H.R 3031 would affect
revenues because TSP participants would be able to withdraw funds differently than under
current law and those withdrawals could affect the timing of taxes paid on the amounts
withdrawn; those effects, however, would be negligible. Because the bill would affect
revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect direct
spending.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 3031 would not increase net direct spending or
significantly increase on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

This bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Dan Ready. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
