LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A handful of Nebraska public school employees have not paid into the state's pension fund when they should have, and one worker improperly collected retirement benefits while continuing to work for a district, according to a new state audit.

Nebraska State Auditor Mike Foley said Wednesday that the cases were isolated. But he said his auditors see similar flaws each year when they review the Nebraska Public Employees Retirement Systems.

"We look for that kind of thing when we do this each year," he said. "It does occur from time to time. They're isolated, but they're the kind of thing we look for. It wouldn't shock me to find them again next year. There are a lot of moving parts, a lot of people participating in these plans."
