[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was once a shift worker in the federal government in the early 2000s. They overpaid me for about 9months - around $1900. They took it out of future paychecks.

the best you can do is work out a payment plan. The government can take it out of your paycheck - it's that easy for the government to do this.

People who say 'wear them down' have no experience with this. This is the federal government - they have ways to get to your money. They have given you notice that you were overpaid and that they want that money back. You just need to find the least hurtful way to do that. Unless you can afford $16K all at once.

You better hope they don't charge interest on top of that. [/quote]
+1. OP I'm a former fed.  My time and attendance was incorrectly entered for a period of time.  They came after me for the overage almost 5 years later.  I had the right to demand the evidence that showed I was overpaid.  It took them a few months to produced the documents.  Once they did so, I was given a deadline to pay.  I don't think the private sector posters on here understand how the federal government works.  [/quote]
