Military On Track For Larger Pay Raise Despite Congress Delaying Vote
by Staffwriter9 · November 29, 2016
Troops are on track to see their highest pay raise they’ve seen in years, despite lawmakers putting off a vote on defense spending for FY 2017 in order to accommodate President-elect Trump’s transition into the White House. Though the House and the Senate are still working out all of the details of the military policy bill referred to as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the proposed version as it stands includes a 2.1% pay increase for military members and that portion of the legislation could be implemented despite President Obama’s request to keep the increase at 1.6%.
