  Mr. COBURN. Mr. President, I submit the following notice in writing: 
In accordance with Rule V of the Standing Rules of the Senate, I hereby 
give notice in writing that it is my intention to move to suspend Rule 
XXII, including germaneness requirements, for the purpose of proposing 
and considering amendment no. 2606 on S. 1845, as follows:

       At the end, add the following:

     SEC. 7. ENDING UNEMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS TO JOBLESS MILLIONAIRES 
                   AND BILLIONAIRES.

       (a) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, no Federal funds may be used to make payments of 
     unemployment compensation (including such compensation under 
     the Federal-State Extended Compensation Act of 1970 and the 
     emergency unemployment compensation program under title IV of 
     the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008) to an individual 
     whose adjusted gross income in the preceding year was equal 
     to or greater than $1,000,000.
       (b) Compliance.--Unemployment Insurance applications shall 
     include a form or procedure for an individual applicant to 
     certify the individual's adjusted gross income was not equal 
     to or greater than $1,000,000 in the preceding year.
       (c) Audits.--The certifications required by subsection (b) 
     shall be auditable by the U.S. Department of Labor or the 
     U.S. Government Accountability Office.
       (d) Status of Applicants.--It is the duty of the states to 
     verify the residency, employment, legal, and income status of 
     applicants for Unemployment Insurance and no Federal funds 
     may be expended for purposes of determining an individual's 
     eligibility under this Act.
       (e) Effective Date.--The prohibition under subsection (a) 
     shall apply to weeks of unemployment beginning on or after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act.
