Comments:
The COLA should not be a part of pay pool distribution. COLA is set by Congress to reflect the cost of living adjustment associated with the economy at the time. COLA is based on the consumer price index which state and local government employees are not penalized. Therefore, DOD federal employees should not penalized.
