Equal COLA Act (H.R. 491 / S. 624) would end “diet COLA” for CSRS annuitants

A Reddit post highlights H.R. 491 and S. 624 (Equal COLA Act), legislation that would change how cost-of-living adjustments are calculated for certain federal retirees, particularly CSRS annuitants who receive reduced COLAs (“diet COLA”). The post urges federal employees and retirees to support the bills and references the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) in the broader retirement-policy debate.
