If the airline changes or cancels the original flight and the new flight is unacceptable they are obligated to refund. This is mandated by the DOT.

A refund by any merchant can take up to 10 business days to process. You are fortunate that you were able to find a ticket on another airline for about the same price. Otherwise you would have a good case for being compensated for the difference.
