THE US Senate on Monday passed the 50.5-billion-dollar relief bill for Superstorm Sandy, sending it to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature.
The bill, which passed the upper chamber with a 62-36 vote, was geared towards providing relief for residents and businesses in states affected by Sandy, which struck the US mainland late last year. The bill would also pay for state and local governments' rebuilding projects stemming from the storm.
The House passed the bill on January 15.
The vote brings the total relief amount approved by Congress for Sandy aid to 60.2 billion. That includes 9.7 billion that the House and Senate approved on January 4 to pay flood insurance claims related to the storm.
