Does the rule of 55 apply to TSP?

The simplest rule to get around the 10% penalty before 59 and 1/2 is available to you if you retire in the year you turn age 55 or later. For example, if you turn 55 in December of this year and you retire this year as well then you’d be able to access your TSP without the 10% penalty.
