Unemployed face more delays in payments

It's turning out that the eight-week delay in Congress passing an extension of unemployment isn't the only woe the unemployed had to face. While the money is finally starting to flow, in some states there have been additional state delays and confusion about getting retroactive payments.

Unemployment experts say the long delay in Congress acting didn't do anyone any favors.

There were reports this week of a computer crash in Indiana -- a crash a state official denied, confusion in California and other states and delays elsewhere complicating problems for the already distraught unemployed.
