The United States Capitol Police (USCP) was authorized to make a lump sum payment on April 12, 2007, for a cost of living adjustment effective the first pay period of 2007. USCP regulations specifically authorize such payments following approval by the House Committee on House Administration and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. USCP received approval from these committees prior to making the payment. The delay in implementing the adjustment was due to the fact that the Senate Committee withheld its approval pending enactment of funding for the remainder of fiscal year 2007. The Senate Committee, however, recognized that the adjustment was forthcoming and would be effective as of the first pay period of 2007. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-310004/html/GAOREPORTS-B-310004.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-310004/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-310004.pdf GAO/B-310004 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-310004 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-310004; B-310004, United States Capitol Police--Cost of Living Payments, December 3, 2007; Title 5 Section 5303 5 U.S.C. 5303 Volume 117 Page 11 117 Stat. 11 Volume 121 Page 8 121 Stat. 8 Public Law 108-7 Public Law 110-5
