| Jobs: House vote to extend unemployment insurance and prevent foreclosures. |
The American Workers, State, and Business Relief Act of 2010 (H.R. 4213), eventually referred to as the Promoting American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010, included a wide variety of provisions aimed to help struggling Americans and bolster the economy. This was the House vote on a slimmed-down package that included an extension of unemployment benefits, a homebuyers tax credit, and provisions to help strengthen pension plans that were devastated by the economic downturn. However, a number of critical emergency spending provisions SEIU advocated, including the six-month extension of the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) and COBRA, health benefits for the unemployed, were excluded over concerns about adding to the deficit. This bill passed.
