        • 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.

      • 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).
