What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes how cost-of-living adjustments work for federal employee retirement benefits. Currently, if inflation goes up by more than 2%, retirees get smaller increases than the actual inflation rate. Under this bill, federal retirees would get the full inflation increase every year, no matter how high inflation goes.
