The House is expected to take up the legislation Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., without passing the federal pay raise in 2018, Congress has a more complicated job if it decides to pass a retroactive federal pay raise in February. In fact, Congress may not end up passing a pay raise at all if it keeps passing continuing resolutions without amendments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne thing is certainly very likely, and that is the president will not initiate the pay raise, he\u2019s made that clear,\u201d said Cardin at a Dec. 19 press call on a potential shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress can pass a continuing resolution with an anomaly, a component of the legislation that funds the government beyond previous levels, to increase federal pay. But Cardin said that it is uncertain what options Congress has in granting a retroactive pay increase, so that feds see their pay adjusted beginning Jan. 1, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur federal workforce protects our nation, ensures the safety of our food and medicine, delivers Social Security and veterans\u2019 benefits, and carries out countless other responsibilities on behalf of our citizens. But President Trump is poised to give them the gift of a pay freeze if Congress fails to act before the end of the year,\u201d said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was proud to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this modest cost-of-living adjustment, despite the Trump administration\u2019s constant attack on our civil servants, and I am going to keep fighting until it becomes law. If we can\u2019t get it done as part of this short-term package, it should be the first order of business when we return.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesperson for Cardin told Federal times that he is committed to working with Van Hollen and other colleagues to pass something early in the new congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate
