Amendment to Extend Unemployment Insurance and Payroll Holiday Tax Rate
December 17, 2011 | S.Amdt. 1465 to H.R. 3630
The amendment extends the 4.2% employee payroll tax rate; extends Medicare payments rates to doctors and extends unemployment insurance (UI) program for the long-term jobless. It is offset by an increase in loan fees levied by government-backed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for guaranteeing loans purchased in the secondary mortgage market. The amendment was approved.
This is Good for working people.
