The bill now heads to the House, which will push to pass it Friday by voice vote as most representatives are out of Washington.
Before passing the bill, the Senate first rejected an amendment proposed by Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., to cap unemployment insurance at a recipient’s previous wages. It failed in a 48-48 vote.
