Old Employer Never Off Boarded Me So I Have $12k In Overpayment

Card image cap

Location: Dekalb, IL

I will try and summarize timeline below. Basically I quit my job and my manager never officially off boarded me. I called HR to say I no longer work there after 3 months.

July- put in two weeks notice verbally and formally via email

August - paycheck comes and it’s my normal amount (we get paid monthly)

September - full paycheck

October - full paycheck

November - full paycheck, self report to Hr that they’re still paying me even though I quit months ago.

Dec - old manager reaches out and asks for the money back after I self report. I send check with the requested amount to address provided. Asked for it to be sent in regular mail. I asked that my W2 be adjusted with the proper amount that I earned so I wouldn’t get taxed on extra income.

Feb- check is still not cashed. I put a stop payment on the check bc it’s been now 60 days and they haven’t cashed it. Manager just texted me today saying the ticket is still open from HR. No body from HR has contacted me or reached out. At this point, I already received my W2 and the amount wasn’t adjusted it still includes the overpayment salary.

What do I do? Send the money back again? Wait for HR to contact me directly? Would they sue me?
