Here’s some good news for the long-term unemployedpoised to exhaust their jobless benefits in the midst of Sen. Jim Bunning’s (R-Ky.) one-man standagainst a temporary filing extension: the Senate’s long-term extension to file for UI benefits, expected to pass the upper chamber this week or next, would provide additional funding — including an extra $25 per week — retroactively beginning March 1, regardless of when the bill should become law.
