Measure Would Extend Homebuyer Tax Credit Through June
November 4, 2009 -- WASHINGTON - Following weeks of Republican obstruction, U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) today voted to approve legislation that would extend unemployment benefits for an additional 14 weeks in every state and an additional 20 weeks in New Jersey and other states where unemployment exceeds 8.5 percent. The legislation will also extend and expand the first-time homebuyers tax credit.
“It is shameful that weeks of senseless Republican obstruction has stood in the way of families receiving unemployment benefits,” stated Lautenberg. “Extending unemployment benefits will boost the economy, benefit thousands of out-of-work New Jersey residents and millions of families across the country. This legislation also takes important steps to further promote home ownership and boost the housing economy. I applaud passage of this legislation and urge my colleagues in the House to approve it as quickly as possible.”
