Meanwhile, the Treasury has once again resorted to a financial maneuver it has used many times in the past when the government has hit its debt ceiling, suspending issuance of new securities in the G fund. In such “disinvestment” periods, G fund balances continue to accrue interest, loans and withdrawals are unaffected, and when the ceiling is raised the securities are reconstructed as if nothing had happened. However, the maneuver nonetheless angers many investors since TSP funds are personal money, not government trust funds.
