ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Former workers at Atlantic City, New Jersey's Trump Taj Mahal casino are expected later today to begin signing up for unemployment benefits and temporary help with utility payments.

Current owner Carl Icahn closed the casino today, saying, "Today is a sad day for Atlantic City." Trump Taj Mahal had to close after having failed to reach a deal with its union workers to restore health care and pension benefits that were taken away from them in bankruptcy court.
