Plain-English Summary

The bill would require that federal employees and Social Security recipients receive the same cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) each year, rather than potentially different amounts. Currently, federal workers and retirees on Social Security may see their benefits increase at different rates based on separate formulas, so this change would standardize how their annual raises are calculated to keep pace with inflation.
