There a More Kimberly a out  oks Bill to Benefit jobless former gis by Chuck Vinch Washington Bureau Washington a Congress moved one step closer late tuesday to extending unemployment benefits for separating service members As the Senate overwhelmingly approved a package of unemployment provisions. The main thrust of the Bill would authorize up to an additional 20 weeks of benefits depending on a state s Overall unemployment rate. But it also contains a change from current rules under which service members now must wait four weeks after separation to apply for a maximum of 13 weeks of benefits. Under the proposed change service members a like other unemployed workers _ would have to wait Only one week to begin drawing up to 26 weeks of Bene fits. The 69-30 Vole cleared the Way for a House Senate conference on the Bill which could Lake place this week. Congressional aides say the conference is Likely to be Stormy because of an Effort by some lawmakers to push the legislation even if it Means busting last years budget agreement Between the White House and Congress. President Bush has vowed to veto any unemployment benefits Bill that would Force Federal spending above previously agreed to Levels. In fact Bush signed a nearly identical Bill into Law in August.

The House version contains the same provision to extend unemployment benefits for military personnel. A senators pushing this Bill seem to have enough votes now to override a Bush veto but some Republican senators who support it now would be very Likely to change their minds if that automatic trigger stays in there a the aide said.

White House officials claim that increased benefits funding is not needed because the recession is ending but lawmakers Are feeling pressure from unemployed constituents who contend that their often desperate situations prove otherwise. An estimated 2.3 million americans have exhausted their unemployment benefits this year.
