Congress passes jobless aid bill in relief plan
Congress rushed through a measure to provide 12 extra weeks of unemployment benefits in states with high sustained joblessness. The bill, approved 134 to 149 in the House and backed by a Senate voice vote, would cost about 274 million dollars with no payroll tax increase. It targets states with 6.5 percent insured unemployment or exhausted benefits, potentially including Alaska California New Jersey Vermont Washington Nevada Oregon Pennsylvania Hawaii. The plan, to expire July 1, would allow continuations into October for those who listed the full 13 weeks before then.
