Senate Votes to Proceed with Unemployment Bill

The Senate on Tuesday voted 87-13 to proceed with consideration of the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009 (H.R. 3548), a bill that would, among other things, provide up to 14 additional weeks of unemployment benefits to individuals in all 50 states, and up to 20 additional weeks in states with rates of high, sustained unemployment. This legislation, which cleared the House of Representatives in September, has run into snags in the Senate. Democrats have accused Republicans of stalling passage by drafting amendments to the bill that have nothing to do with unemployment. Tuesday’s cloture vote effectively limits debate on the bill, and thus the consideration of the various amendments that have been proposed.

Some Republican senators have found fault with how the bill would be funded.
