Now imagine being on Social Security Disability only getting $1300/month with a 2.5% COLA. Then getting the news that your Medicare is increasing $150/month and the $30 COLA you're getting is taken out of your SNAP benefits too. Not even gonna mention the jump in car insurance, food prices, electric rates, etc. They want us to die.
So you mean that on top of the raises we received this year 2024 will be receiving a 2% base raise. 🙏🏾. Does you FEGLI increase as your pay increases??
2% won't buy you a carton of cigarettes in California.
That is really ridiculous!!!
Billions to Ukraine and Israel but 2% for US workers. Seems about right for our Government lol.
Retirees get one percent. Always half what the pay raise is for current workers.

Low pay raises for federal employees equals more money for the illegal border crossers. Pretty soon, we will be giving them all a car.
2% pay raise and only 2.5% cola increase. I think the government has downplayed real inflation for 2024.
I'm just happy to be getting a pay pump. Worked in the private sector for many years and the annual raises were either not there or just pennies
Nice, I'll be moving up a step and getting a + 2%. Will really help with trying to pay extra toward my mortgage.
Congrats, that's great!
Yes! Good decision
2.3 for DC area feds
That is really bad for retired Federal employees!!!
It is really sad
And bad for those of us still working, too!
That is sad & ridiculous!!!
13% fehb increases tho? No thank you, I will continue to use my socialized VA health care if necessary!
Gee wilikers. That's about a quarter tank of gas.
Each month 😁
😂😂😂😂
I just read that FEHB will increase 13% in 2025. I appreciate any increase in COLA, but 2% is basically “0.”
Yes, that's correct.
Any idea if they will raise the annual pay cap like they did last year?
The pay cap will likely increase by 2% as well.
@@TheMoneyBriefing I hope so. Approaching my last few years of service. A little more than 4 to go.

Yes, your 2024 salary will increase with next year's pay raise. Your FEGLI premiums will also go up since they are based on your salary.
This is why elderly shouldn't be running the government. They still think houses cost $80k 😂😂😂
Bidenomics strikes again!
I’m voting for Trump
No taxes on pay raises
