Not op but is this just your guess or did you actually have any experience? 
Please note this is not about taxes or fines![/quote]

I'm sure every agency has similar procedures https://oha.ed.gov/salary-overpayment-matter/ [/quote]

From this link:
A debtor may request that part or all of an overpayment be waived where repayment would be inequitable if there is no evidence of fraud or misrepresentation in connection with the overpayment, and where granting the request is not contrary to the best interests of the United States or otherwise against equity and good conscience.[/quote]

Under 5 U.S.C. 5584(a)(2), the head of an Executive agency is authorized to waive an amount not more than $1,500 (per individual claim), while higher amounts must be waived by an "authorized official," which under § 5584(g)(2) is the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). (This higher-level waiver authority was previously held by the Comptroller General of the former General Accounting Office, now the Government Accountability Office (GAO). OMB was given this authority by section 103(d) of Public Law 104-316, October 19, 1996.)
