The bill would extend the filing deadline for the existing tiersof unemployment insurance (retroactively from March 1) through Dec. 31 of this year.
The vote was 62 to 36, with six Republicans voting in favor and Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.) the only Democrat to vote against.
The bill now moves to the House , where it remains unclear how leaders intend to sneak the bill, which is unfunded, past the fiscally conservative Democrats who are sure to insist that the new costs be offset.
