I had a summer internship (U.S. company) that continued to pay me for a few periods past my end date.  I reached out to the company and told them about their error.  They thanked me for notifying them and said they would notify payroll and stop the payments.  Months later- after I had moved on from the incident- I received a call that told me that the company is going to need the money back that they overpaid me.

I expect I will be paying back what was not rightfully mine, but what should I consider through this process?  This will definitely drain my funds as I was not planning on paying out such a large amount of money on short notice.

I was overpaid for a summer internship in a company that paid me on time and then overpaid me for the entirety of the internship. I asked them to stop
