(AP) — A 73-year-old western Nebraska woman has been accused of stealing from the Social Security Administration since 1998.

Federal prosecutors say Lois Powell, of Kimball, is charged with theft of government funds. She’s suspected of taking nearly $178,000 by accepting payments to which she knew she wasn’t entitled.

She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

A public phone listing for Powell couldn’t be found. Online records don’t list the name of her attorney.
