Cost of Living Allowances for Employees on Pay Retention
The Office of Personnel Management is required by its own regulations to base cost-of-living allowances for employees receiving retained pay on their higher retained rate of pay, rather than on the maximum rate of the grade. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/24186/download.
