Us Senate Approve Unemployment Extension july 20 2010

Hi guys how are you let i take a good news for you,you really know this Great news for the 2.5 million Americans who were waiting for assistance, earlier today in the U.S. Senate has finally taken a decisive step towards greater long-term unemployment assistance to those who need it.
By a vote of 60-40 the Senate approved a move reauthorizing unemployment benefits for long-term unemployed, but there is still much work to be done.
Since late May, most Republicans and conservative Democrats, a few were able to kill bills that were intended to update the help.


After the final vote in the Senate, who must pass the bill easily be sent to the House, which will vote on Wednesday and it should land on the desk of President by the end of the week.
Almost half of the 15 million unemployed in the United States have been unemployed for more than six months, a record in terms of long-term unemployment since the creation of statistical data on employment was created in 1940. Almost one quarter of the unemployed has not worked during the year.
Another positive news for those who are without work is that people who missed the unemployment checks will be paid retroactively.
But on the other hand, Americans who have exhausted all weeks of benefits before the expiration will not receive money.
