Senate OKs jobless bill; House prospects slimmer

FILE - This Feb. 6, 2014 file photo shows Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I. speaking during a news conference on unemployment insurance on Capitol Hill in Washington. Capping a three-month struggle, the Senate closed in Monday on passage of election-year legislation to restore jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed that expired late last year.

Dean Heller, R-Nev., the bill’s leading supporters, said they were willing to consider changes in hopes of securing passage in a highly reluctant House. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)
