Introduced

Summary

Accurate cost-of-living adjustments for service members and Department of Defense civilians in California's 19th Congressional District. This bill would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to deliver, within one year, a report evaluating how COLA rates are calculated, whether a Monterey commissary affects those calculations, and whether parts of the district should be treated as high-cost compared with places like Santa Clara.

Show full summary
  • Military members and families: A formal review could lead to recommendations for higher COLA in parts of the 19th District if local costs exceed the current index.
  • Department of Defense civilian employees: The report would examine data collection methods and assess whether the Monterey commissary or exchanges provide enough financial support to alter COLA determinations.
  • Policymakers and oversight committees: The Armed Services committees in both chambers would receive the report within one year to inform possible local COLA adjustments and policy decisions.
