(1) Emergency unemployment compensation 
benefits expired at the end of 2013. 
(2) 1.3 million unemployed workers and their 
families immediately lost access to benefits. Thou-
sands more unemployed workers are losing benefits 
each week. 
(3) Excluding title IV, which focuses on nutri-
tion, the Agricultural Act of 2014, which has passed 
the House, generates savings to offset the cost of 
this Act. If savings are not sufficient, Congress will 
direct offsets from other legislation to fully offset 
this Act. 
(4) Consistent with the statutory pay-as-you-go 
scorecard and the spirit of House rules that allow 
savings from one bill to be counted in evaluating 
language in another paired bill, the savings gen-
erated by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (not includ-
ing title IV) provide an offset for the benefits pro-
vided in this Act.
