The Senate will vote next week on a bipartisan bill to ensure the 9/11 Victim Compensation fund never runs out of money.

Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer say an agreement has been reached to bring up the bill on Tuesday.

The measure would extend the fund through 2092.

The $7.4 billion fund is rapidly being depleted, with benefit payments being cut by up to 70 percent.

Senator Rand Paul on Wednesday blocked a vote that called for unanimous consent to approve the bill, citing the nation's growing debt.

NY1 tried to to ask the senator about his opposition, but he would not answer our questions.

Gillibrand and Schumer say they're happy this process is moving forward.

"This vote is so long overdue, and it's welcome news for every 9/11 first responder, for every family member of a first responder, who have been waiting 14 years for Congress to finally get the job done," Gillibrand said.

"These first responders who spend so much time focused on Washington can now focus on what they should, the families of those who have been lost," Schumer said.

The news comes as the FDNY says the 199th and 200th members of the department have died from 9/11-related illnesses.
