[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  
(1)May I ask what is the prospect for a cost-of-living increase in future years?  Forgive me if I am naive, but is it all dependent on politicians?  Did it happen reliably for many years, but now it's not likely to return ever again?

(2)Also, this sequester does not seem to have effected his particular office, at least he hasn't been furloughed.  But I don't know if there were bonuses in the past.

(3)I'm also not sure if he is excepted service or bargining unit? I think he's not in a bargaining unit because I feel like he would have mentioned that.  MMany thanks.[/quote]

1 - COLAs not likely to come back during this administration. Maybe if private sector jobs rebound for the lower-middle class, we'll get them back in 2017? But they used to be 2-3%. I don't know if we'll see those again. 
2 - Sequester will continue. My agency has not done any furloughs yet but may next fiscal year. It's going to get worse before it gets better. 
3 - I don't know this would effect his bonus potential. btw - federal "bonuses" are 1.5-3k a year - there's nominal tokens, not actual bonuses like what you're probably thinking of. [/quote]
