INDIANAPOLIS – State officials are suspending the payment of federal unemployment compensation starting Saturday until further notice.

Joe Frank, spokesman for the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, said the move is a result of the federal sequester, which is chopping emergency unemployment compensation.

National media outlets have reported that the cuts would result in federal payouts dropping by almost 11 percent, according to the White House.
