The U.S. Senate passed legislation today to extend the amount of time out of work Americans can receive unemployment insurance benefits. The House overwhelmingly passed the bill in October; the measure now goes to the president for his signature. The Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008 (H.R.6867) provides workers with an additional seven weeks of unemployment benefits for workers who have exhausted their regular unemployment and an additional 13 weeks of benefits for workers in states with the highest unemployment. |
