JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The state labor department says it’s trying to speed unemployment benefits for those who’ve filed since June 2, when federal funding expired.
It hopes to have those payments out within a week.
President Barack Obama last week signed an extension of unemployment benefits that had lapsed amid a stalement in Congress.
