What Members of Congress may give themselves a pay raise during current session of Congress?

Members of Congress can give themselves a pay raise during the current session through a process called the "automatic pay adjustment." However, this adjustment occurs only if Congress does not act to block it, which requires a vote. Generally, pay raises for Congress are often met with public scrutiny, and lawmakers may choose to forgo such increases to align with constituents' sentiments. Additionally, any pay raise would be subject to the legislative process and could be influenced by broader economic conditions.
