Glitch that stalled jobless benefits is fixed
CARSON CITY -- A computer problem that delayed unemployment insurance payments to 86,000 Nevadans has been fixed, but officials say it could be another day or so before money is credited to accounts.
Employment Security Administrator Cynthia Jones urged claimants not to call the claim centers or the VISA debit card center because workers there do not have any additional information.
She says updates will be posted on the agency's website, www.nvdetr.org.
Jones also advises anyone who wants to check their account balance to do so online at www.EPPICard.com. to avoid a balance inquiry fee.
