Report says UW System overpaid health premiums, pensions by nearly $33M

Associated Press:

The University of Wisconsin System overpaid for health insurance premiums and pension contributions by nearly $33 million over the last two years, including $8 million for more than 900 employees who had already left their jobs, according to a report released Thursday.

The Legislative Audit Bureau's findings prompted state lawmakers to call for a deeper review of UW System's payroll and benefit protocols.

"This is a $32 million error," said Rep. Samantha Kerkman, R-Powers Lake, co-chairwoman of the Legislture's audit committee. "My initial response was I'm shocked. I'm really disappointed."
