00:00:11,532 --> 00:00:12,599
^- This is Robyn.

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:15,265
^Let's work out your questions together.

5
00:00:15,265 --> 00:00:16,978
^- Hey Robyn, if I sign up for BRS

6
00:00:16,978 --> 00:00:19,560
^do I get automatic and matching contributions?

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,748
^- You sure do, sailor.

8
00:00:20,748 --> 00:00:22,840
^Under BRS, you'll get an amount equal to one

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,858
^percent of your Basic Pay in your TSP account

10
00:00:25,858 --> 00:00:27,175
^each pay period.

11
00:00:27,175 --> 00:00:29,670
^Plus, if you contribute a portion of your pay

12
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:32,251
^Uncle Sam will match up to an additional four

13
00:00:32,251 --> 00:00:34,894
^percent, for a total Government contribution of

14
00:00:34,894 --> 00:00:35,977
^five percent.

15
00:00:36,586 --> 00:00:38,050
^- So, like right now?

16
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:39,197
^- [Robyn] You bet.

17
00:00:39,197 --> 00:00:41,635
^The Government contributions start up right away if you

18
00:00:41,635 --> 00:00:43,844
^choose to run with the BRS.

19
00:00:43,844 --> 00:00:45,376
^- And... when am I vested?

20
00:00:45,376 --> 00:00:46,690
^- Great question.

21
00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:48,258
^For your matching contributions and all their

22
00:00:48,258 --> 00:00:50,983
^earnings that starter pistol goes off right now.

23
00:00:50,983 --> 00:00:52,369
^You're vested immediately.

24
00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:54,197
^For that one percent Government automatic

25
00:00:54,197 --> 00:00:56,300
^you're vested after two years.

26
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:58,383
^- Awesome! Thanks, Robyn.

27
00:00:59,775 --> 00:01:02,608
^- Five more reps. You've got this.
