The Biden administration wants to give federal employees their largest pay raise in 15 years.
Federal News Network has learned that the White House will propose a 4.6% pay increase for federal employees as part of its fiscal 2023 budget request. The budget request is expected to go to Congress after the State of the Union, which is on March 1, Shalanda Young, the nominee to be director of the Office of Management and Budget, told the Senate Budget Committee on Feb. 1.
The Office of Management and Budget told agencies in the annual “passback” guidance, which Federal News Network obtained, to plan for the 4.6% raise and included more funding to account for the additional salaries and expenses. The White House didn’t break down the raise in terms of locality vs. across-the-board increases.
OMB declined to comment.
