The House approved $70 million Wednesday to help cover September 11th health programs.
The funds are in addition to the more than $100 million carried over from previous years.
The money will help with treatment for thousands of first responders and residents exposed to toxins released by the collapse of the World Trade Center.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised the effort, saying it will help many people who rely on the critical funding.
