Washington -- The House followed the Senate and voted overwhelmingly today to approve an additional 20 weeks of unemployment benefits for workers in Michigan and other hard-hit states, sending the bill to the president for approval.
President Barack Obama will sign the legislation Friday, the White House said, and Gov. Jennifer Granholm's office says checks for the tens of thousands of jobless workers who've exhausted their benefits could go out by mid-December.
