The “civil service cola 2025” refers to the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for federal civil service employees that is scheduled to take effect in 2025. The COLA is a yearly adjustment to salaries and benefits that is intended to keep pace with inflation. The 2025 COLA will be based on the change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) from December 2023 to December 2024.
The COLA is an important benefit for federal civil service employees, as it helps to ensure that their salaries and benefits keep pace with the cost of living. The COLA also helps to attract and retain qualified employees in the federal workforce.
