In that time there have been more than 50,000 new coronavirus deaths, bringing the total to more than 140,000 americans. More than 2. 5 million more cases. Yet the senate has done nothing. This important legislation provides much needed relief to states and cities experiencing lost revenue, to support our heroes on the frontlines. Our essential workers are entitled to hazard pay.

It preserves Health Coverage by protecting the more than 5. 5 million americans who lost their Employer Provided Health insurance. It, tends the weekly 600 federal unemployment benefit through january providing a vital safety net for a Record Number of americans unemployed. Right now that expires in just nine days.

Ms. Dean we encourage High School Students to attend college to claim their education, yet too many graduates are shackled with a mountain of debt that limits their future.

I rise today because supplemental federal Unemployment Benefits expire next week. And republicans in the senate refuse to extend these benefits for the American People. Average daily expenses are weighing heavily on millions of families as our economy struggles and unemployment is at record high with over 17 million still unemployed. Rent is due. Bills are due. Loan payments are due. But people are still out of work. Americans are fighting against financial hardships and the Housing Affordability crisis. Failure to extend Unemployment Benefits in the midst of this pandemic would be cruel and inhumane. It would cause financial ruin for millions or already struggling. Our communities need the additional 600 weekly Unemployment Benefits. It could be the difference between getting evicted or making rent for another month. I urge the senate to pass the heroes act to extend federal Unemployment Benefits. Millions of people are depending on it. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired.
