The House on Wednesday again endorsed a 1.9 percent average federal employee raise for 2019 and for back pay for employees who have been furloughed during the ongoing partial government shutdown, as part of a new tactic aimed at ending the shutdown.

The vote on the general government bill as a stand-alone measure follows passage last week of a larger appropriations measure—including that bill and five others—with the same provisions. The House has scheduled votes on several of the other unfinished appropriations bills over the next several days.

I.e., H.R. 264 - https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/264/text

and apparently was what Pelosi's enrollment presser was referencing. So there is a 2nd one out there.
