(AP) - Unemployment benefits that were delayed for 86,000 Nevadans because of a computer problem now have been paid.

Employment Security Administrator Cynthia Jones says the weekly benefits were credited to recipients' debit card accounts around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

The problem was discovered Tuesday night, and though it was fixed on Wednesday, it took time for the benefits to show up in accounts.
