This was a vote ending debate (known as a “cloture motion”) on a motion to bring up legislation (known as a “motion to proceed”) that would have provided a one-time payment of $250 to senior citizens and disabled veterans. Proponents of the bill argued such a payment was necessary because Social Security beneficiaries were not scheduled to receive a cost-of-living increase in their Social Security checks in 2011. |
