WASHINGTON—Legislation that will clear members of Congress to receive a $4,500 cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) pay raise appears to be headed for a vote this week in the House of Representatives, but the Senate is going in the opposite direction.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) expects the lower chamber to vote on the legislative funding proposal that doesn’t include specific language rejecting the COLA.
