The House published its 1,500 -page spending legislation alongside a multibillion-dollar supplemental just days before the government is set to enter a shutdown.

Lawmakers currently receive annual salaries of $ 174,000 , which was established in the 2009 appropriations bill.

The latest CR does not implement a specific pay raise for members but rather includes language to reverse language in the September continuing resolution that blocked the 2025 automatic pay raise.
