You can leave your account at Fidelity until no later than April 1 following the year you turn 72.

To avoid default, all outstanding loans must still be repaid.
- You can continue making payments via ACH to Fidelity; or
- You can repay your full loan balance with a check ; or
- You can take a one-time partial withdrawal within 60 days of termination to repay your loan.
-
If you don’t repay your loan, you will be contacted by Fidelity regarding their procedure to report the outstanding amount as a distribution to
the IRS.
- You can still make transfers between investment options.
- You can change your beneficiaries (with spousal consent).
- You cannot take additional loans.
- You may be able to take certain withdrawals depending on your age.
- You continue to receive statements from Fidelity.
-
If your vested account value is less than $7,000, you will be notified within three months that you must take your distribution.
- The withdrawal can be paid to you or you can choose to do a direct rollover, if your balance is at least $1,000.
-
If you don’t respond, the monies will be distributed (if balance is less than $1,000) or rolled into a Fidelity IRA account (this is an outside account
— not within the Thrift Plan).
