H.R. 6224 · 117th Congress
Fix the Unemployment Backlogs Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
This bill suspends federal payments for the administration of unemployment compensation to states that have more than 45,000 unprocessed unemployment claims. These payments must remain suspended until the Department of Labor determines that the number of unprocessed unemployment claims in the state has been reduced to zero.
