re: Company pay after quitting

A long time ago I was working for the government. I got a $1500 direct deposit that wasn't part of my normal pay. A bunch of other people got the same payment just like me and it was some kind of error. I made sure I didn't spend that money but many people did. The money was taken out of my account about a year later. Those other people had to pay it back. I assume their checks were garnished for a while. That's when 1500 was a good amount of money.
