Shortly after 7 p.m., the U.S. Senate passed the unemployment extension bill on a vote of 59 to 39.
The bill will be voted on tomorrow by the House of Representatives where it is expected to pass easily.
Share After the House vote, the bill will be sent to President Obama who will sign it into law.
The extension is retroactive to the previous deadline of June 2. But it could take up to a month for some states to start sending the checks again, according to the Associated Press.
Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency has been putting a plan in place in advance of the Senate vote and expects to restore benefits to unemployed residents quickly.

As seen on CSPAN-2 TV this afternoon around 2:30, the Senate voted to extend unemployment benefits for millions of jobless Americans. The bill now only needs approval from
the House of Representatives, which should come later this week, before President Obama signs it into law and the unemployed begin to receive checks again.
