About this app

Federal Benefits Service (FBS) is a privately owned, independent organization. FBS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any government agency or entity. The information in this application, including Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) data, fund performance, lifecycle charts, and other benefits-related content, is independently produced by Federal Benefits Service and does not originate from official government sources.

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is not a private company; it is a retirement savings plan for federal employees and members of the uniformed services, administered by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB). The descriptions within this mobile application are written by our Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) as original explanations of the 5 core funds and lifecycle funds. While our CFA references official materials such as https://www.tsp.gov/publications/tsplf14.pdf, the descriptions are produced in his own words to provide simplified educational insights.

All fund performance data and lifecycle chart information are sourced from Daily TSP and managed through API services provided by Taza Technology, LLC — both of which are independent, non-government entities. The TSP investment funds themselves are managed by BlackRock Institutional Trust Company and State Street Global Advisors Trust Company.

This application is intended solely for educational and informational purposes to help federal employees understand general aspects of their benefits. Any federal benefit calculations, projections, or fund data shown in this application are based on independent third-party sources and should not be considered official government information.

The “Benefits Review” feature provides access to licensed specialists who are independent insurance agents. These specialists are not affiliated with the Federal Government and provide advice on life insurance, annuities, disability coverage, Medicare, and health plans. Contact with these specialists is optional.
