Research: What it is not. A research paper is not simply an informed summary of a topic by means of primary and secondary sources. It is neither a book report nor an opinion piece nor an expository essay consisting solely of one's interpretation of a text nor an overview of a particular topic.
Tax Saver Benefit (TSB) The TSB plan is designed to save tax dollars when you pay for IRS eligible expenses. When you elect to set aside salary contributions into one or both of the TSB expense reimbursement accounts, the contributions are not subject to federal, state, local or FICA taxes. This can mean substantial savings.
Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for FERS Employees. The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for FERS employees is one of the three parts of your retirement package, along with your FERS Basic Annuity and Social Security. Participating in the TSP does not affect the amount of your Social Security benefit or your FERS Basic Annuity.
