Reminds me of one of the 'warnings' they gave us in basic training - tldr is that the folks in finance are just as dumb as the rest of us, and invariably there are a couple recruits in every batch that have their first paycheck MAJORLY fucked up.
Like, instead of the $400 we're supposed to get, we'd get like $40,000 cuz of some fat-finger fuckup in Excel.
The warning was "DO NOT TOUCH a single cent of money you're not supposed to have, cuz they WILL notice and you WILL have to pay it back!"
...which in my mind translated to: "If you win the finance fuckery lottery, all your loans just became 0% interest!!"
I was not one of the lucky ones. Q_Q
Don't know how that works with the feds, but I worked IT for a private payroll firm. If we fucked up and put extra money in your account, that was your money. We had no means of taking it back. None.
Imagine the possible scams if it wasn't that way!
Caveat: If the bank fucks up and deposits too much, while that's on them, you don't get to keep the funds.
I'll note: American employees, while not having the protections we should have, probably get more than you think. If you start work for us and I send you a $3,500 MacBook, and you quit next week? LOL, keep it. HR can't hold your last check or any other such thing.
Was the benefactor of finance mistake in military. It's not your money, it's the government's. They take it back. You have no defense and no rights.
Bonus is if they screw up and give you $25k extra like they did me, you can pay it back as 10% of your base income, interest free. Turned out to be a 0% interest 3 year car loan for me!
