Episode: Benefits in Doubt

As unemployment has grown in America, so too has something else -- business for firms that help employers process, and in many cases challenge, unemployment claims. Financial correspondent Stacey Tisdale examines these third party administrators, as they're known, and discovers that many of the newly jobless, who expect to get by on unemployment benefits for a while, are in for a rude awakening.
