There are several options, but there are different tax consequences for each option. I recommend reading the booklet Withdrawing Your TSP Account After Leaving Federal Service (6/2007) on the www.tsp.gov website. This booklet details all the current options available.
Please note that the TSP will be implementing the Roth TSP by January 2012. This will affect withdrawal options, therefore the booklet will most likely be updated.
I was married 18 years. I have never remarried can I draw his retirement
In the US, persons that serve long enough to retire from the military draw a retirement payment. Not all veterans are retirees. If your husband has deceased, DOES HIS WIFE GET HIS RETIREMENT CHECK? Answer: There is no one answer, since there is no one retirement program. You will need to check with the retirement agency.
You cannot draw benefits from your retirement accounts until you are actually retired unless you cash out your account. But, if you cash out early there could be penalties, so it is best to get advise from a financial planner.

Probably not because retirement implies not seeking work and that is one of the requirements to be able to receive unemployment benefits.
The Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) was established in 1986, not 1956. FERS offers retirement benefits to federal employees hired after January 1, 1987, including a pension, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and Social Security benefits. It replaced the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) as the primary retirement system for federal employees.
You can draw from the various retirement plans and unemployment, but if you mean you're going to retire, that would violate the conditions of having to constantly seek full time employment and would make you ineligible.
I worked for International Harvester Company that changed to Navistar International for 12 years. At what age can you draw retirement? How can I get the amount calclated?

Yes.
Matching contributions to TSP, continuation pay, and mid-career retirement bonus are features of the Blended Retirement System that are not part of the legacy High-3 retirement system.
