There should be no situation where you keep this money. Your employer should also be able to recoup 100% right away without working out any deals with you. You were wrongfully in possession of someone else's property and need to return it without hesitation.

Maybe. And perhaps so in this scenario. But what if your insurer miscalculates your overpayment, pays you, and you put a downpayment on a house bigger than you otherwise would have?

There are usually statutes or doctrines addressing such issues with payment recoupment. I don't practice in VA so I don't know if they have such a doctrine or whether it would apply here. If you can't repay the money, or don't think you should have to, get a VA attorney.

I think what he wants to know if they will just ACH it out of his account.

I gather that as well. I also take it that he has mostly everything swept from his checking to his savings account, and therefore might not have enough money for them to pull it all back out at once. Simple. Just move the overage from the savings account to the checking account and be done with it.

well played.

Snowball stands make bank during the warmer months. Tell your boss he should be able to afford it

If you bought a sandwich and accidentally handed over a 100 dollar bill instead of ten bucks, would you think the restaurant can give you the difference in weekly increments?

You should contact the payroll department and ask if they are going to ach or if you could simply write a check. Depending on state law they do have the ability to pull it back if an error was made and you agreed to such remediation when signing your DD agreement. I've had a situation not similar to yours where I had to pull back monday from an overpayment and the employee then quit..
