Since I'm not sure on what schedule you're being paid, it's a little hard to tell. However, since this paycheck most likely reflects payment for time worked last year (or partial time worked last year) it may not show the increase yet. In general, you see the change towards the end of January.

My first full pay period in 2015 started on the 11th and runs through next Friday. I won't get paid for it until the 30th.

Remember when the pay raises were linked with the new fiscal year - October 1?

Remember when pay raises were actually detectable in one's paycheck?

no I don't. I have only been a fed for four years and we've barely seen a cola since I started.

I've been a fed for 15 years and when I started we used to get the COLA but also a locality pay adjustment every year. Haven't seen one of those in ages!

All of the bill sponsors are D. It's a bit disheartening being so reviled by 50% of the country, including family members.

+1. I'm a government attorney and have been asked by a family friend when I'm going to get a "real" job.

I've been told it's ridiculous that I get free healthcare.

Uh....wow, that would be super nice if it were even remotely true.

That one percent raise will just disappear into increased healthcare premiums.

Yes, my family thinks we get free health care too. When I tell them how much our monthly premiums are, they don't believe it because it's higher than their family premiums in the private sector by a lot. They think I'm exaggerating because they had some relatives work for the federal government (of course 40-50 years ago, but I digress) who didn't have to pay anything or something really minimal (their words). This is fly over country and I've heard it from several different relatives in different states. I'm sure a lot of people outside of federal service believe it too.
