How to change high-3 to blended?

SPC Private RallyPoint Member — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 17:38:20 -0400

Joined Army 2018 aug and I suppose to have blended with match but some how I'm enrolled in High-3 with no match. Got the confirmation letter from TSP saying high-3 with no match but finance system says I've been getting match ups and it's blended. I need to find where the disconnection is

I don't wanna keep something that I'm not suppose to have and pay inquiry, CMS inquiry from finance is no help.
Any advice?

Have you contacted DFAS and spoken with someone there? Like, literally had a verbal conversation and not an email conversation?

Assuming you're not prior service and you didn't swear into the MEPS the first time before 2018 - aka your DD4/1 dated for 2017 - you should be ineligible for High 3. Finance can process a CMS case to fix it back, they would just need a copy of your DD4/1

If you are a prior service person, when you joined active duty you had one year to make the switch. If your first DD4 in any service, branch, or component was before 2018 then your retirement is High 3 unless you went onto the my pay website and physically made the switch to BRS
