SS Supplement

[EEKK]

Does anyone have any info on the Senate budget blueprint that was passed last week? It’s not subject to a filibuster, so a simple majority would pass.
It calls for ATC, firefighters etc to lose the SS supplement that we get from 56 to 62.
It also calls for increasing that amount we contribute to retirement and changing our high 3 to our high 5.

It won’t happen they have been threatening it forever. Plus the High 5, excluding locality from the pension, etc….. Scare tactics don’t let NATCA trick you into giving more to the PAC to “prevent” it.

Idk currently I'd say it is more likely to happen than ever but I still don't see that it's gonna happen.

One thing for sure though is that NATCA won't do anything to fight it cause Nick and his boys on the NEB are scared of their own shadow. If I was scared as often as Nick I'd be drunk all the time too

The budget bills passed in the Senate and House are not laws. They are concurrent resolutions. That means they set the budget levels and amounts the committees of each House are expected to not exceed over the next ten year budget cycle (FY25-34).

For example, it lays out what the DOT and sub-agencies can expect for funding over the next 10 years... but I've only listed the next two. The outlays is the important number.

Transportation:
FY2025:
(A) New budget authority, $173,158,000,000.
(B) Outlays, $144,771,000,000.

FY2026:
(A) New budget authority, $167,673,000,000.
(B) Outlays, $152,541,000,000.

Instructions to the committees are as follows (using on the Transportation committees here):

House: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.—The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives shall report changes in laws within its jurisdiction that increase the deficit by not more than $20,000,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

Senate: Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.—The Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate shall report changes in laws within its jurisdiction that increase the deficit by not more than $20,000,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

So it looks like the DOT and sub-agencies are looking at a $20 billion increase over current levels in the next 10 years (rough average of $2 billion per year). You can compare that to both the Senate and House Agriculture committees, which were both tasked with reducing the deficit (aka cutting spending) by $1 trillion (or an average of $100 billion per year) over the same 10-year period.

The next step in the budgeting process will be the important one - reconciliation. This is where any and all changes to law - High 5, SS Supplement, etc. - will come. And the reconciliation bill is the one not subject to filibuster.

Hope this helps.

I was wondering too. Upside is that this effects employees they like so it might not make it.

For now it sounds like the gameplan is a CR with some cuts, Dems tell them to go fuck themselves on the cuts and then the GOP tries to make it look like the shutdown is the Dems fault (never works).
