TREATMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES UNDER THE THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN.

SEC. 110. TREATMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES UNDER THE THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN.(a) Sense of Congress.—It is the sense of Congress that—(1) members of the uniformed services should have a retirement system that is at least as generous as the one which is available to Federal civilian employees; and(2) Federal civilian employees receive matching contributions from their employing agencies for their contributions to the Thrift Savings Fund, but the costs of requiring such a matching contribution from the Department of Defense could be significant.(b) Reporting Requirement.—Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall report to Congress on—(1) the cost to the Department of Defense of providing a matching payment with respect to contributions made to the Thrift Savings Fund by members of the Armed Forces;(2) the effect that requiring such a matching payment would have on recruitment and retention; and(3) any other information that the Secretary of Defense considers appropriate.
